UNC-ASU (G2): Instant Analysis

Posted Jun 19, 2009
North Carolina's vaunted bullpen self-destructed in the bottom of the seventh inning, allowing Arizona State to score eight runs in blowing open a tie ball game on Thursday night. With the 12-5 loss, the Tar Heels are eliminated from the 2009 College World Series. For Dustin Ackley, one final single in the ninth inning in Omaha was a near perfect ending to an unbelievable Tar Heel career. (Inside Carolina)
