Your UNC Tar Heels are headed to the Super Regional round of the 2022 NCAA Baseball Championship! The Heels completed their comeback out of the losers’ bracket by beating VCU for the second time, 7-3, becoming the first team of this postseason to win a regional from the loser’s bracket and also doing so for the first time in UNC history. The Heels got unbelievable performances from starter Brandon Schaeffer (W, 3.2 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 5 K, 1 BB), pitching on just one full day of rest, and reliever Gage Gillian (4.1 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 4 K, 3 BB), who’d pitched in both games yesterday, on a day where most expected them to go through most of the bullpen because the Heels had pitched 18 innings yesterday, and the offense got going early to give them a lead to work with for the whole game.
UNC is headed to a Super Regional!
