This Day In UNC Baseball History: May 16

Posted May 16, 2020
Today in 'This Day in Recent Carolina Baseball History' we go back to 2008 and 2009 for a road win over the No. 1 team in the country and a Coastal Division championship that seemed impossible just 24 hours earlier. Plus quick hits from 2006, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2019. When the Tar Heels went to Coral Gables in 2008 they were No. 2 in the country. (GoHeels.com)
