Lucas: Omaha Memories
When members of the last Carolina baseball team to face Oregon State in Omaha are asked for advice for the 2018 version of the Diamond Heels, they don't talk about moving runners over or throwing strikes. Instead, their advice is a little more simple: enjoy it.
Eleven and twelve years later, the members of the teams that faced the Beavers in 2006 and 2007 think about the experience a little differently than those who lived it mostly by buying a ticket or watching on television. They wish the final outcome had been different, of course. But while the details of certain games might require some refreshing for them, the atmosphere and camaraderie is something they instantly recall.
