On the whole, this year’s North Carolina baseball team has been good, but they sure do know how to make things difficult along the way.
In the regular season, an extended mid-season slump threatened to knock them out of the NCAA Tournament entirely. Last weekend in the regional, they had to battle their way out of the loser’s bracket. In those cases, a late season run not only got them in the tournament, but got them a national seed. In the regional, they won three-straight games when they had no room for error, advancing to this weekend.
