The University of North Carolina (UNC) Tar Heels baseball team has secured a spot in the College World Series for the first time since 2018. They achieved this by winning Game 2 of the Super Regional against West Virginia with a narrow 2-1 victory. The Tar Heels held on in a tense final inning where West Virginia left the bases loaded. This win means UNC joins Florida State and Virginia, making it three Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) teams in the College World Series. The ACC will occupy three of the four Bracket One spots. Scott Forbes's crew, featuring standout players Vance Honeycutt and Dalton Pence, is set to compete in Omaha.
