Tar Heels Rally to 9-3 Win Over ECU, Advance to NCAA Super Regionals

North Carolina baseball defeated East Carolina 9-3 in the Chapel Hill Regional final to advance to the NCAA Super Regionals. The Tar Heels leaned on timely hitting, strong pitching, and a bullpen sequence that included Folger Boaz, Walker McDuffie, and Jackson Rose to preserve an 8-1 lead. ECU starter Ryan Towers exited early and UNC stretched the advantage, while UNC’s bench—Carter French and Rom Kellis V—also contributed. UNC now awaits the winner of the Texas A&M College Station regional for a super-regional series; the Tar Heels are 41-8 in Chapel Hill regional play, and UCLA’s upset of top seeds is part of a shifting postseason landscape.
