CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WNCN) — North Carolina baseball is two wins away from a second consecutive trip to Omaha for the College World Series, and once again the Tar Heels have the chance to earn that spot in front of their home crowd.
No. 5 UNC (45-13) and Arizona (42-18) will battle this weekend in the 2025 Chapel Hill Super Regional. The first game of the best-of-three series is set for Friday afternoon, with first pitch scheduled for 12 p.m. at Boshamer Stadium.
The Tar Heels needed to go the full distance in the Chapel Hill Regional to secure their spot in supers, but they did so by handily defeating the Oklahoma Sooners 14-4 Monday. Gavin Gallaher hit two home runs — including a three-run shot in the ninth inning — and Jackson Van de Brake blasted a two-run homer in the win. Hunter Stokely also drove in three runs.
The Wildcats swept through the Eugene Regional to earn their trip to Chapel Hill. Arizona dominated Cal Poly 14-0 in the regional-clinching game, with center field Aaron Walton hitting three home runs and driving in six run sin the win.
The two teams will face off again Saturday afternoon.
