Posted Jun 16, 2026
Just as the Chapel Hill Regional essentially turned into a best-of-three series between No. 4 UNC and ECU, Bracket 1 at the College World Series is playing out in a similar way. The Tar Heels just hope for similar results. No. 9 West Virginia, which lost 5–2 to UNC on Sunday night, earned a rematch with the Tar Heels by rolling to a 12–0 victory over Troy.
