Jay Cox homers twice to lead Heels

Jay Cox put up some runs. Then he helped stop the opposition from doing the same. In the process, he ended a slump and helped the North Carolina baseball team earn a spot in the College World Series championship series for the first time in school history. Cox, a Smithfield native known for his special style of southern slang, hit two home runs and crashed into the fence to make a catch in the ninth inning as the Tar Heels defeated Cal State Fullerton 6-5.
