Robert Woodard gets a crack at redemption

Posted Jun 20, 2007

Shortly after North Carolina's 3-1 victory over Louisville on Tuesday, coach Mike Fox leaned over to senior Robert Woodard and said, "You might be the happiest guy in the ballpark right now." Woodard's response: "I will be after we win tomorrow." Woodard, a right-handed pitcher, will get to start today against Rice. And Woodard may get a little College World Series redemption.
