Casey Cook’s imperfect bunt does job in ninth inning as Heels win thriller over Duke

Posted May 17, 2024
In a battle of Omaha-quality teams, Coach Scott Forbes wasn’t about to let Vance Honeycutt’s lead-off single in the ninth inning get wasted in a tie game. He gave Casey Cook the bunt sign for the first time this season. What it lacked in execution, it made up in the outcome as the No. 7 Tar Heels used a pair of ninth-inning runs to beat No. 11 Duke 6–4. (Tar Heel Tribune)
