Turner Brown makes smooth transition from Whiteville High to ECU

GREENVILLE, NC (WWAY) — Whiteville High grad Turner Brown won three state championships on the high school level. He was an outstanding infielder during his playing days at Whiteville. Brown is now the starting shortstop on the East Carolina baseball team. He’s a freshman, but he’s certainly not playing like a freshman. “I’ve learned and it’s definitely different in college,” Brown recently said. “It is a much faster pace. I am having to learn as I go. I am starting to get more comfortable and making plays that I wasn’t making.”
