Burlington boy, leukemia survivor will cheer on UNC baseball in CWS title series

Posted Jun 21, 2026
UNC baseball will have a special fan in attendance this weekend when it plays for a national championship. No, it won’t be country singer Eric Church. Or men’s basketball coach Michael Malone. Or even Roy Williams. The Tar Heels’ special guest is David Hill, a 6-year-old leukemia survivor. His family found out last week that a trip to Omaha was possible. (MSN.com)
