No. 1 is not enough

Posted Apr 19, 2006

You've got the No. 1 baseball team in the country and you win five straight games. So, what's next? Well, for starters, you drip to No. 2. At least in some polls. That's what happened to the UNC baseball team after it beat Charlotte and then swept Virginia Tech. After ascending to the top spot in last week's National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Poll, Carolina fell back to No. 2 in the same ranking this week. (Chapel Hill News)
