This Day In UNC Baseball History: May 17

Posted May 17, 2020
Today we go back to 2008 and 2013 for a high-scoring, series-deciding game on the road at the No. 1 team in the country, and a Coastal Division-clinching win starring Mike Zolk at Boshamer Stadium. Plus quick hits from 2011, 2012, and 2018. On May 17, 2008 No. 2 UNC faced off against No. 1 Miami in Coral Gables on the last day of the regular season. (GoHeels.com)
