Dream ride for Tar Heel baseball tandem

Posted Jun 14, 2018
Omaha! It's been a dream destination for Jackson Hesterlee and Cooper Criswell since they were young sluggers playing Clipper ball, and now it's a reality for the 2015 Carrollton High School graduates and current University of North Carolina standouts. The Tar Heel tandem will open play in the 2018 Men's College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska on Saturday at 3 p.m. (Times-Georgian)
