Tar Heels slam Tigers

Posted Jun 21, 2008

North Carolina loves to play from ahead. LSU prefers to come from behind. So with the score tied at Rosenblatt Stadium in the ninth inning, something -- or someone -- had to give during Friday's weather-suspended elimination game in the College World Series. And it came in the form of Tar Heels catcher Tim Federowicz, whose grand slam over the left-field wall beat LSU 7-3 and kept UNC's NCAA title hopes alive. (Raleigh News & Observer)
