Looking at the baseball playoffs it looks like maybe just one home game in the playoffs unless the baseball team can catch lightening in a bottle like basketball. A second round road game is on tap IF they win in round one but that was the same story for basketball who got three home games after a #1 seed went down in the first round.
Northern Nash and Rocky Mount are playing in the semi-finals of the Big East soccer tournament tonight at Hunt. The winner plays for the title Thursday night. The Big East Track and field championships are under way now at Nash Central.
Baseball and softball finish their regular seasons Thursday night at Northern.
There is a new chancellor in town at North Carolina State Randy Woodson. Upon arriving he said he wanted State to be in the fore front in the college world. Despite how good of a engineering program you might have nothing puts you on TV in the news more than sports. This week the new Chancellor told Lee Fowler to pack his bag as Athletic Director of the Wolfpack. Looks like the new chief when he sees State on TV wants victories to help recruit engineers to State.
College baseball is coming down the home stretch and North Carolina finds themselves in ninth place in the ACC and with nine games to go are 2.5 games behind eighth place N C State. Only the top eight make it to the ACC tournament and if you believe the RPI even if State makes it to the ACC tournament their RPI says they will not make the NCAA unless they go on a tear for the rest of the season. Compounding Carolina's problem of catching State is State only has six ACC games to play. Even if Carolina wins seven of nine down the stretch that would still only get them to 15-15 in conference play. Who would have ever thought football was the best of the big three sport in Chapel Hill.
