It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This

Friday at 1PM North Carolina will host South Carolina in the so called Chapel Hill Super Regional.  The winner of two out of three games will qualify to go to the College World Series in Omaha Nebraska.  Friday at 4PM N C State will host Rice in the so called Raleigh Super Regional.  The winner of the two out of three games will go to the College World Series in Omaha Nebraska.  Should Carolina and State both win they would be in the same bracket and play each other in the first game of the World Series  next weekend.

It seems like a million years ago but the so called experts picked Carolina to be #1 this year and the Pack to finish first in the ACC which raised eyebrows as to how could Carolina be voted #1 in the nation and second in the ACC.  Even though they didn't completely get it right both at this late date in the college baseball season the experts just about had it pegged.

Carolina from day one started winning 16 in a row, lost and game and started another streak and their best record stood at 39-2 at one point. State lost at home the first game of the season and at their low point stood 15-8 and 2-4 in the ACC.  Injuries prevented the Pack from getting off to a great start but since they are all healthy they are 32-6.  Carolina has never quite been the same since Skye Bolt returned from his broken foot.

Never has college baseball in this area been at the fever pitch it is right now.  If you plan on going to either series this weekend I hope you already have your ticket's cause there ain't none.  You may have to join the students across the railroad track in Raleigh on top of the new parking deck and party with them like they did last weekend over looking the field from 100 yards away.

South Carolina and Rice are capable of winning two straight games and both State and Carolina's baseball season could end this weekend.  It will be a disappointment if both don't make it. It will be awful if one does and the other doesn't.   It will be fantastic if both make it.  Go Heels!  Let's go Pack!
