North Carolina's baseball team is headed to the College World Series for the fourth year in a row.
The East Carolina Pirates were beaten twice this weekend by pitchers that could have easily chosen the Pirates over the Heels.
Saturday, Alex White, a D.H. Conley product from Pitt County, held the Pirate bats to one run. Today, Adam Warren, a senior form New Bern High School,held the bats down until the game was all but over. Carolina won the second game 9-3 to sweep ECU and win the Super regional two games to none.
The College World Series starts Saturday, June 13 and the Virginia Cavaliers will be joining their fellow ACC members theTar Heels in Nebraska. UVA beat Ole' Miss today in the third game of their Super Regional 5-1 in Oxford, Miss. Virginia will be the ninth team since the NCAA went to the super regional format to play on the road in the regional and super regional and make it to the World Series.
In the three-game series for Virginia, its pitchers gave up eight runs and in the two-game series for North Carolina's pitchers, they gave up just four.
If you look back to my Thursday blog, I predicted that the Pirates would not have enough pitching to beat the Heels. Carolina scored 19 runs in the two games.
Shifting to Rocky Mount ... The girls All-Conference team has been announced in soccer and RM's midfielder Kelsey Benson, goalie Holly Campbell and defender Michelle Karr made the first team. Lauren Campbell and Alllison Raper made second -team all-conference. Baseball's all-league team will be announced this week.
Don't forget my Monday blog will highhlight what I consider to be the greatest team ever in Nash County. I hope to have it up by 7 a.m.
