On Sunday afternoon, the No. 4-ranked North Carolina baseball squad will face No. 16 NC State in a series-deciding rubber match.
The Tar Heels have had an outstanding season, competing atop the ACC standings and national rankings from opening day. After losing their first two conference series in March, UNC has rung off six consecutive series victories and comfortably into the hosting conversation ahead of the NCAA Tournament.
The road to earning that national seed becomes much easier if North Carolina can secure the series against the Wolfpack on Sunday afternoon. Arguably the toughest opponent the Diamond Heels have welcomed to Boshamer Stadium this year, the two squads sit a half game apart from each other in the ACC standings.
