Mike Fox didn’t want to put it in these terms, not exactly, but he nonetheless knew what a defeat Monday night might represent for his North Carolina baseball team.
“It might have been close to the nail in our coffin,” said Fox, the Tar Heels’ coach.
But now, after UNC’s 8-1 victory against Notre Dame on Monday night, Fox and his players are hoping that this victory turns into the opposite of that – that it can be a catalyst.
After an 18-2 start to the season, the Tar Heels find themselves clinging to their postseason hopes.
