Woodard's 'masterful' pitching leads UNC

Posted Jun 19, 2006

Clemson's hitters felt like they were close to breaking something open against North Carolina's Robert Woodard. But The Tigers learned quickly never to doubt a man on a mission. Fresh off 16 days' rest, Woodard was itching to make his mark. On college baseball's biggest stage Sunday, the oft-overlooked hurler on the Tar Heels' staff turned in the pitching performance of the College World Series and put UNC one win from the championship series with a 2-0 victory over the top-seeded Tigers.
