Tar Heels defy the odds to set up rematch of 2006 CWS finals

Posted Jun 22, 2007

On Thursday, Mike Fox's ninth Carolina club ended a 14-game stretch in which it had hit just two home runs to smack four against Rice's vaunted pitching staff to beat the Owls for a second straight day. The 7-4 outcome, coming on the heels of Wednesday's 6-1 triumph, meant that for only the second time in the event's 61-year history the same teams will meet for the title in back-to-back seasons.
