Dramatic start exceeds Diamond Heels' early-season expectations

Posted Feb 29, 2016
UNC’s baseball season is off to the type of start that makes freshmen wonder what they’ve gotten themselves into. The Tar Heels came into the season unranked and knocked off then-No. 10 UCLA for a 2-1 series win to open the year. Then in its home-opening series, No. 20 UNC swept No. 13 Oklahoma State with three straight walk-off wins. (WRAL Sports Fan)
