Prior to North Carolina's Super Regional series, the talk was that Stetson had one of, if not the best, pitching staff in college baseball.
The numbers supported that.
All four of its starting pitchers had ERA's below 3.00. Three were drafted in this week's MLB draft. And as a team, Stetson led the country with a 2.56 ERA, well ahead of the next team, Stanford, which had a 2.81 ERA.
But in both of its games, UNC showed no trouble with Stetson's pitchers. It combined for 23 hits in the two games. And on Saturday, the Tar Heels won its second consecutive game over the Hatters 7-5, solidifying one of eight spots in the College World Series.
