Once again, UNC is comeback king
Posted Jun 9, 2007
You're down 6-0 after 5 1/2 innings. Your ace pitcher -- who is 22-0 in his home stadium -- has been racked for two home runs, including a grand slam. In a predicament like that, some teams might panic. UNC just keeps persevering. Once again, timely hits and solid relief pitching helped the Tar Heels achieve a third straight comeback win. This time it was a 9-6 victory over South Carolina that left them one triumph away from another trip to the College World Series.
