UNC baseball players, coach discuss College World Series berth
After clinching a spot in the College World Series, UNC baseball coach Scott Forbes and several Tar Heels discussed the run to Omaha.
North Carolina baseball and Virginia begin the College World Series on Friday (2 p.m., ESPN) at Charles Schwab Field Omaha.
The Tar Heels (47-14) and Cavaliers (46-15) are two of eight teams attempting to get to the championship series, which is scheduled for June 22-24. The winner of Friday’s game will play top-seeded Tennessee (55-12) or eighth-seeded Florida State (47-15) on Saturday at 7 p.m. (ESPN).
UNC is 4-3 in its last seven College World Series openers.
Virginia, which is in Omaha for the third time in the last four years, is 5-0 in the NCAA Tournament. The Tar Heels, who are at the College World Series for the first time since 2018, lost two out of three games at Virginia in April.
In the all-time series, UNC has a 192-123-4 record against the Hoos. The first game between the two programs was played in 1891.
