To make it to a Super Regional, UNC baseball has excelled at the little things

Posted Jun 5, 2019
Over the past seven games, the North Carolina baseball team has outscored its opponents 61-23. Mike Fox wants to focus on the latter number. The Tar Heel coach knows the runs are fun and homers are flashy. But why does he think UNC hasn’t lost so far in the postseason? “Pitching and defense. If we pitch and play defense, we’re gonna win,” Fox said. (Daily Tar Heel)
