UNC Owns An Arms Advantage

Posted Jun 23, 2006

North Carolina and Oregon aren't exactly bastions of baseball. Neither state can claim a major league team. But one will celebrate a College World Series champion early next week after Oregon State advanced to the championship series against North Carolina with a win against Rice. The Tar Heels have their rotation lined up, with College Player of the Year Andrew Miller ready for the opener followed by righthander Robert Woodard on Sunday and Daniel Bard if necessary Monday.
