They have a towering left-hander with top-of-the-draft pitching ability. They have a hard-throwing right-hander who likes to take afternoon naps before firing 96-mph fastballs.

North Carolina is counting on the talented trio of juniors Andrew Miller, Daniel Bard and Robert Woodard to pitch the Tar Heels past Alabama this weekend. (Greensboro News & Record)
