Lucas: UNC Baseball vs. West Virginia CWS Sunday Rapid Reactions

Posted Jun 14, 2026
Huge 5-2 win for UNC Baseball over West Virginia, which moves the Tar Heels into Wednesday's bracket final. It wasn't pretty, but it didn't have to be. The biggest breakthrough came after a pair of West Virginia errors in the seventh. Those miscues from the Big XII's best fielding team led to three unearned runs. The big swing came from Gavin Gallaher. (GoHeels.com)
