Gallaher’s Two-Run Triple Sparks UNC Past WVU in Omaha

UNC defeated West Virginia 5-2 in Omaha to advance to the bracket final. The Heels used a seventh-inning rally sparked by Gavin Gallaher’s two-run triple and Owen Hull’s RBI single, capitalizing on WVU’s errors. Pitching held up as Ryan Lynch worked into the fifth, Walker McDuffie delivered 3.2 shutout innings, and freshman Caden Glauber got the final outs. A sharp defensive effort—Hynek throwing out a runner and a pair of double plays—helped limit WVU. With the win, UNC awaits the WVU/Troy winner on Wednesday at 1 p.m. for a shot at reaching the national championship series.
