The Tar Heels of North Carolina the #6 seed in this years NCAA baseball run to Omaha open their quest to returned to the College World Series for the sixth time in the last eight years. As the host school in the Chapel Hill Regional Carolina will play at 6pm Friday night and they will be playing Cornell of the Ivy League.
The Heels who have the third most wins of any team in the NCAA this year has a record of 43-16 while Cornell is 31-15. The Pirates of ECU 35-22 will be playing Friday afternoon and take on St Johns of the Big East 37-22. You have to know that ECU fans think there is a conspiracy of some sort as every year when they haven't hosted in the past few years they have played Carolina. Either in Columbia and played South Carolina or in Chapel Hill and play North Carolina. Pirates fans are questioning why they can't try someplace else sometimes.
Over in Raleigh the #9 seeded Wolfpack 39-17 play host in the Raleigh Regional and Play Sacred Heart Friday night at 7PM. Sacred Heart sounds like a hospital but the Pioneers will be one of the few team in the NCAA tournament with a losing record 25-30. They are the champs of the Northeast Conference for the second year in a row. This is only the third time in school history to be in the NCAA tournament and they are 0-4 all time.
The 2pm game in Raleigh will feature the Seahawks of UNC Wilmington 38-21 going up against Vanderbilt 33-26 of the Southeastern Conference. The two winners play Saturday night at 7pm
Believe it or not but Post 58 played a game tonight in Pittsboro against North Chatham. West of Raleigh did not have the rains from the Tropical Storm as we had this morning. Post 58 won 5-1 for their third win in three tries. They play their first conference game at home Thursday against Ahoskie. First pitch is 7PM Thursday at Gryphon Stadium.
