Talented Sun Devils first hurdle for Heels in Omaha

Posted Jun 10, 2009
North Carolina's four consecutive trips to the College World Series put them in exclusive company. The No. 4 national seed, the Tar Heels are just the 10th team in NCAA history to accomplish that feat. But UNC's first opponent in Omaha, Neb., Arizona State, has a legacy of its own. With this year's CWS appearance, the fifth-seeded Sun Devils have made the trip to Omaha three of the past five years, and 21 times overall. (Raleigh News & Observer)
