North Carolina's bullpen finally cracked at the College World Series, and the Tar Heels' defense showed a few chinks as well in its 11-7 loss to Oregon State in Game 2 of the College World Series championship round. The relief corps had amassed 12 2-3 scoreless innings in the Tar Heels' first four CWS games. On Sunday night, relievers Matt Danford, Adam Warren and Tyler Trice were tagged for eight runs in five innings. (Sports Illustrated)
