They say that sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Well North Carolina was both lucky and good as the Chapel Hill Regional hosting Tar Heels beat LSU 6-2 in the winner’s bracket game.
LSU had multiple chances early to grab a lead over North Carolina, but they blew their opportunities thanks to a combination of poor execution on the Tigers’ part and great defense by the Tar Heels.
The Tigers got at least one runner on in each of the first three innings but couldn’t do anything with it. In the first LSU got base hits from both Tommy White and Josh Pearson, but a Hayden Travinski fielder’s choice ended that early threat.
