Tar Heels Advance In Extra Innings

Posted Jun 17, 2006

When Cal State Fullerton couldn't score after having five men reach base in the 11th inning, North Carolina coach Mike Fox figured it must be his team's game to win. Turns out, Fox was right. Josh Horton broke a tie with an RBI single in the 13th inning to key the Tar Heels' 7-5 victory Friday night in the second-longest game in College World Series history at 4 hours, 53 minutes.
