Kent Emanuel keeps UNC alive in Omaha

Posted Jun 20, 2011
The 6-foot-4, 205-pound string bean of a freshman just stood on the mound and calmly pitched his way into the North Carolina record books. Facing elimination and a traditional big dog of the College World Series, the frosh pitched his way to nine stellar innings of four-hit, shutout baseball Monday to keep the Tar Heels alive for another day after the 3-0 win over Texas.
