CWS Preview: #1 UNC vs #4 LSU

Posted Jun 18, 2013
For the third time this postseason, UNC has its season on the line in an elimination game. The Tar Heels won the first two times they faced this scenario but going against the #4 seed LSU makes this perhaps the toughest test so far. With so much riding on this game, Mike Fox is sending the pitcher who has clearly been the best this postseason in the person of freshman Trent Thornton (Tar Heel Blog)
