Were this a remotely normal year, Saturday would’ve been the first day of the College World Series. Despite getting off to a bit of a slow start before everything was cancelled, we’ll never know if North Carolina would’ve been one of the eight teams participating.
In general, the Tar Heels have been a regular face in Omaha, making 11 trips over the years, most recently in 2018. They’ve been one of the two teams left standing twice in 2006 and ‘07, although those are a bit tough to think about. The program’s really come on in the Mike Fox era as seven of those CWS appearances have come since he took over.
