Tomorrow, the ACC Tournament Champions, the UNC Tar Heels, will open play in the Chapel Hill regional of this year’s NCAA Baseball Tournament. This sentence which was inconceivable about this time last month. There are a lot of things you could point to as inspiring UNC’s total turnaround, which culminated in 15 of their last 17 games being won after they’d won just 6 of their previous 20 — you could talk about Max Carlson seizing the reins as Friday starter and settling in to give the Heels’ bullpen some stability. You could talk about the team embracing Scott Forbes’ catchphrase, “Freakin’ awesome,” and using it to play looser.
Give it up for Vance Honeycutt
