Hot-hitting Tar Heels poised to be Super

Posted Jun 4, 2006

North Carolina baseball coach Mike Fox won’t jinx his team by placing it in next weekend’s NCAA tournament super regional already. But only a monumental collapse will deny the Tar Heels their first trip there in three years. Their victory over Winthrop sets up this scenario: Winthrop plays UNC Wilmington today in a battle of depleted pitching staffs. The winner of that game would have to beat the Tar Heels twice to advance. It’s not likely. (The State)
