UNC Baseball's Erik Paulsen Jr.'s unbreakable bond with his father

Posted May 29, 2026
Erik Paulsen Jr. wants us to know about his dad. The UNC first baseman's father died less than 11 months ago. Anyone who has ever lost a loved one knows that every day of that first trip through the calendar without them, the grief is raw. But here the 21-year-old sits, dressed in Carolina blue, not sobbing, rather telling stories with a smile on his face. (ESPN)
