UNC Baseball Clinches ACC Title, Cementing Itself As National Title Contender

Posted May 18, 2024
It hasn’t been an easy ride for the North Carolina Tar Heels to this point. Righthander Jake Knapp, projected to be the team’s Opening Day starter, was lost for the season due to injury in the preseason. Freshman Folger Boaz stepped up to fill that void early but suffered a season-ending injury himself in early April. UNC has persisted through the adversity. (Baseball America)
