Jesse Wierzbicki a first-timer to CWS as Tar Heels head to Omaha
Posted Jun 17, 2011
No player on North Carolina's roster may be more excited about going to the College World Series than first baseman Jesse Wierzbicki. Unlike the rest of the senior class which has already been to two CWS, Wierzbicki will be making his first trip to Omaha, Neb., after spending the first two years of his collegiate career at Walters State Community College.
