UNC faces walk-off happy Bulldogs in key CWS game

Posted Jun 18, 2018
The Tar Heels and Bulldogs have gotten to this point in Omaha quite differently, but the winner tonight will put itself in a strong position to reach the championship series. UNC is 6-0 in tournament play and has averaged better than nine runs per game. With UNC's offense rolling, it may take some pressure off a pitching staff that put in quite a bit of work in the opener. (WRAL Sports Fan)
