Why UNC baseball isn’t panicking after loss to USC in Game 1 of NCAA Super Regional

Posted Jun 6, 2026

If the No. 5 overall seed Tar Heels are going to advance to the College World Series for the second time in three seasons, they’ll have to make program history as the first UNC team to bounce back from a Game 1 defeat.
