North Carolina secured a dramatic 3-2 walk-off victory against Virginia in the opening game of the College World Series in Omaha. Vance Honeycutt delivered the game-winning RBI single to left field, driving in Jackson Van De Brake, who had hit a lead-off double, marking his 15th hit of the season. This marks the fifth time this postseason that the Tar Heels have clinched a win in the 9th inning or later. With this victory, UNC advances to the winners' bracket and will face the winner of the FSU/Tennessee game on Sunday night. Virginia, on the other hand, will play the loser of that game in an elimination match on Sunday afternoon.
