Tar Heels Use up 18 Lives To Win -Pack Will Host

It will have to go down as the strangest inning in the history of UNC baseball but the Tar heels blow a four run lead in the ninth inning mostly off of  bad call after a Florida Atlantic runner ran out of the base line and was called safe. They found themselves trailing 8-6 and managed to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth but then turn around and give up a three run homer in the 12th and the North Carolina Tar Heels score three themselves in the bottom of the 12th as the Tar Heels have used up 18 lives or the equivalent of two cats lives and Cody Stubbs bases loaded single in the 13th inning and Carolina survives to play another day 12-11.  Carolina will host South Carolina in the Super Regional this weekend. 

They thought they were a National Seed but didn't get it, but they got it.  N C State will host a Super Regional for the first time ever after Rice beat Oregon 11-4 and in doing so State replaces  Oregon as the #8 seed and will Host Rice.

Coleman Pitt Post 58 got a break from the weather tonight as their game was cancelled due to the weather. They are due to play a home game tonight  against Albemarle.    Hank Jones has already blocked off this weekend while the public schools have their graduations but after the weekend he has just been through trying to get enough player to put a team on the field with the private school graduations I bet you next season he will take notice of both schedules.

Under the file of where is he now former Nash Central Bulldog Xavier Macklin will begin the long road to recovery from his major  shoulder surgery that he had last spring in which he missed the entire baseball season will start all over where his rookie season was in the New York Penn League.  the NYPL starts about mid June after all the teams have a chance to sign the rookies that will be drafted this Thursday.

Also on the minor league baseball front Brian Goodwin continues to struggle with strike outs as he is averaging over one per game.  He does lead the AA minors in triples with 6 and he has also hit four homers on the season.  If you look at his stats everything is fine but those strike outs and he has to start improving there if he wants to move on up the ladder.
