Posted Jul 5, 2008

The good news and the bad news for the Carolina baseball team is the same: The Tar Heels ended their season at the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., for the third year in a row. "It's where you want to end your season," said head coach Mike Fox '78 during a sit-down interview in his office following the 2008 season. "It's the worst place to end your season, but it's the best place to end your season." (UNC General Alumni Association)
