Tar Heels Ride Hot Offense to Championship Hope After 12-7 WVU Win

UNC knocked off West Virginia 12-7 to reach the national championship series for the first time since 2007, fueled by 16 hits and a red‑hot trio in the 2–4 spots (Owen Hull, Gavin Gallaher, Erik Paulsen) who went 11-for-15 with seven RBIs and six runs. A lineup shake‑up and aggressive baserunning helped set the tone early, while Folger Boaz started and Jackson Rose worked 4.1 scoreless innings before Caden Glauber finished it. WVU’s Armani Guzman sparked a five-run seventh that kept the game tense, but UNC rode the surge to set up a title showdown after awaiting the Georgia‑Oklahoma result.

Underdogs Surge as Chaos Rules the 2026 NCAA Baseball Regionals

Opening weekend chaos reshaped the bracket: seven regional hosts were eliminated, top seeds stumbled, and several four-seeds reached the super regionals, proving college baseball’s parity remains real even as the SEC dominates the sport. Underdogs like Troy, Little Rock and Cal Poly earned first-time super regional appearances, while Kansas and others joined the wave of unlikely survivors. UCLA’s No. 1 seed was toppled, underscoring that in this tournament anything can happen, and the weekend also raises questions about inclusivity and future coaching moves as the field heads toward Omaha.

Top-ranked UCLA’s title bid ended with a 6-5, 10-inning loss to Saint Mary’s in the Los Angeles Regional, as Makoa Sniffen delivered a walk-off single to bring Cody Kashimoto home after UCLA led into the ninth.
