UNC-ECU: Instant Analysis

Posted Jun 6, 2009
This Super Regional was touted as a heavyweight prize fight between UNC's pitching prowess and ECU's mighty bats. The fourth-seeded Tar Heels took Round 1 with a 10-1 victory, thanks to Alex White's nine-hit, one-run gem in 8 1/3 innings on the mound. But early struggles followed by Brandon Henderson’s solo blast in the second inning had the large contingent of East Carolina fans on hand believing that an upset was in the cards. (Inside Carolina)
