Lucas: The Team
Scott Forbes is very good at a lot of things. Winning baseball games, for one. His Tar Heels did it again Sunday, besting West Virginia 5-2 to skip ahead to Wednesday's bracket final game. This is the best position they have been in since 2006. That guarantees exactly nothing, but it's June 15 and UNC still has a chance to win a national championship. (

UNC’s Pitching Plan for Sunday's Game Against West Virginia
UNC's off-day at the College World Series on Saturday was beneficial for everyone, but especially
