Mike Bianco is in his 26th season in Oxford and has built the Rebels into one of the sport's most consistent programs. After spending three seasons as the head coach at McNeese State, Bianco arrived at Ole Miss in 2001 and has compiled more than 1,000 victories with the Rebels. Success in the postseason has become a hallmark of Bianco's tenure. Ole Miss has reached the NCAA Tournament 20 times under his leadership, advancing to nine Super Regionals and now making its third trip to the College World Series. His crowning achievement came in 2022 when the Rebels made a remarkable postseason run and captured the program's first national championship. Bianco's impact on the game has also earned national recognition. He was named National Coach of the Year in both 2020 and 2022, further cementing his reputation as one of college baseball's premier head coaches. With a veteran leader in the dugout and recent championship experience within the program, Ole Miss arrives in Omaha as a team that understands what it takes to navigate the pressures of the College World Series. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/c3338ebe-0867-478b-b0f3-13e845dbceb7/Head-to-Head.png Articles | News - Carolina Baseball Omaha Preview - Can Carolina finally get a win vs Ole Miss? There is not much history between North Carolina and Ole Miss, but what history does exist favors the Rebels. The two programs have met just four times, with Ole Miss winning all four matchups. With no recent history to draw from, the record carries little weight when the teams take the field in Omaha. What makes this matchup unique is that it will be the first postseason meeting between North Carolina and Ole Miss. Despite both programs making frequent appearances in the NCAA Tournament over the years, their paths have never crossed in regional, super regional, or College World Series play. While Ole Miss owns the historical advantage, Friday's game offers North Carolina an opportunity to rewrite the narrative. The Tar Heels will be looking for their first victory over the Rebels in what is easily the most meaningful matchup between the two programs to date. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/770d628a-5e55-4b40-959b-d746240cde9b/Team+Rankings.png Articles | News - Carolina Baseball Omaha Preview - A closer look at the numbers reveals a team that wins in a much different fashion than North Carolina. Ole Miss relies heavily on power, ranking 120th nationally in runs per game (6.81) and 230th in batting average (.264), but its 107 home runs top North Carolina's 80. The Tar Heels, however, have been more balanced offensively, posting a higher slugging percentage while producing far more doubles (126-89) and triples (16-1). North Carolina also holds a clear edge on the bases. Ole Miss has stolen 49 bases and allowed 61, while the Tar Heels have surrendered just 20 stolen bases all season. The Rebels' biggest strength is their pitching staff. Ole Miss ranks 23rd nationally in ERA (4.37), 16th in WHIP (1.32), and seventh in strikeouts per nine innings (11.4). The matchup pits Ole Miss' power and strikeout-heavy pitching against North Carolina's more balanced offense and superior speed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/ab34b59c-56e3-4594-8eae-72154ced2563/chapel+hill+SUPER+regional+preview.png Articles | News - Carolina Baseball Omaha Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/f6153931-6b87-4b85-b623-941d61abca7f/Judd+Utermark+-+3B.png Articles | News - Carolina Baseball Omaha Preview - Judd Utermark - 3B If there is one hitter North Carolina's pitching staff must be aware of every time he steps into the batter's box, it is Judd Utermark. The junior third baseman earned Second Team All-SEC honors after leading Ole Miss' offense for much of the season. Utermark enters Omaha hitting .312 with a .426 on-base percentage, 22 home runs, 12 doubles, and 53 RBIs. He has also shown the ability to impact the game in multiple ways, stealing 11 bases while drawing 40 walks. What makes Utermark especially dangerous is his power. His 22 home runs lead an Ole Miss lineup that relies heavily on the long ball, and he is capable of changing a game with a single swing. While he has struck out 80 times this season, the reward has often outweighed the risk for the Rebels given the damage he can do when he makes contact. Utermark's talent has earned national recognition as well. D1Baseball ranks him as the fifth-best third baseman in the country, a testament to both his offensive production and defensive value. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/1c052f50-50d2-4fb7-be65-cd6d7e42f007/Walker+Hooks+-+LHP.png Articles | News - Carolina Baseball Omaha Preview - Walker Hooks - LHP (Closer) If Ole Miss has a lead late in the game, the ball will likely find its way into the hands of Walker Hooks. The All-SEC First Team selection has emerged as one of the premier relievers in the conference, posting a 3-1 record with a 2.43 ERA while striking out 61 batters against just 11 walks. His ability to fill up the strike zone while still generating swing-and-miss stuff has made him one of the most reliable late-inning arms in college baseball. Hooks' underlying numbers are equally impressive. He owns one of the best chase rates in the SEC, consistently getting hitters to expand the strike zone and swing at pitches they cannot drive. That ability becomes even more valuable in high-leverage situations, where one strikeout can completely change the complexion of an inning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/b3882735-a159-4c0d-91c3-5f0ab331d960/Tenn+%282%29.png Articles | News - Carolina Baseball Omaha Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/b779477b-5fa2-4499-9f1d-2f12d962758d/Photo1%2B%281%29.webp Articles | News - Carolina Baseball Omaha Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/a874d756-f628-4264-a8ad-4b7f3147546b/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/a874d756-f628-4264-a8ad-4b7f3147546b/thumbnail Articles | News - Carolina Baseball Omaha Preview Footage Courtesy of ESPN https://www.heelsonfranklin.com/articles-news/andrews-carolina-chapel-hill-super-regional-mvps monthly 0.5 2026-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/09f6bddd-28af-4813-aa62-c2db74607e88/Tenn+%289%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Super Regional MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/96187468-c6aa-4e71-acaf-92533a3801a5/How%2BHe%2BChoose%2BMVPs%2B%281%29.webp Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Super Regional MVPs - Andrew’s MVPs highlight the players who made the biggest impact, focusing on moments that matter, not just the stats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/c1dfc087-c26e-40ee-ad3a-15c338863188/_Jason+DeCaro+MVPs.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Super Regional MVPs - Jason DeCaro With UNC’s backs against the wall and facing elimination, Jason DeCaro had, undoubtedly, the best performance of his Tar Heel career. The righty was dominant, giving up just two hits and striking out eight. No USC runner even reached second base Saturday afternoon. And DeCaro, after a couple of shaky starts, reminded everyone why he’s the ace of this UNC staff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/c051e82a-e442-4dea-9f10-73192f74115f/joey+ruller+%281%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Super Regional MVPs - Caden Glauber Scott Forbes has shown trust in Caden Glauber time and time again this season when it comes to high-leverage situations. Game 3 of the super regional was no different, as the freshman made just the third start of his young career. He dazzled, striking out 11 batters, the most in a UNC tournament game in 15 years. Glauber pitched into the 8th inning, and he kept the Tar Heels in the game until the bats were able to get going. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/271cf80c-868b-4e08-a436-56d3cef4429b/Owen+Hull+MVPs.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Super Regional MVPs - Owen Hull Owen Hull’s walk-off double in game 3 of the super regional will get all of the attention moving forward, and rightfully so. But the first year Tar Heel was phenomenal all weekend long. He had nine hits on the weekend, hitting .692, and pitching in four doubles in game 3. And after sending the Tar Heels back to Omaha with his hit in the 9th inning on Sunday, he’ll forever be remembered with the likes of Chad Flack, Vance Honeycutt, and Gavin Gallaher as one of the guys responsible for UNC postseason magic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/2f89ddbb-f8c3-4aac-a1c9-0508cd2c42cd/Photo1%2B%281%29+%281%29.webp Articles | News -

Offensively, USC averages 7.18 runs per game, but its biggest threat comes from its power, ranking 49th nationally with a .486 slugging percentage. Like UNC, the Trojans also play strong defense, setting up a matchup between two well-rounded teams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/9973d595-6f0d-450d-8d48-bcffa48cc8ba/chapel+hill+SUPER+regional+preview+%283%29.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Super Regional Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/330fd9ee-42f4-4f6a-b57d-9e48d91515ed/Mason+Edwards+-+LHP+%281%29.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Super Regional Preview - Elite Starting Pitcher: Mason Edwards - LHP USC is led on the mound by Big Ten Pitcher of the Year Mason Edwards, one of the most dominant arms in the country. The left-hander enters the Super Regional with an 8-0 record across 16 starts, a 1.85 ERA that ranks second nationally, and a nation-leading 164 strikeouts. Edwards has held opposing hitters to a .153 batting average, the best mark in the country, while averaging 15.9 strikeouts per nine innings. His three-pitch mix features a fastball that typically sits around 92 to 93 mph and can touch 95, along with a plus curveball and changeup. Ranked as the No. 34 prospect in the upcoming MLB Draft, Edwards will be looking to bounce back after an uneven start against Lamar in the regional, when he allowed five earned runs across 4.1 innings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/62f286dd-cd79-4342-9c57-147e15801f1f/Grant+Govel+-+RHP.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Super Regional Preview - Grant Govel - RHP USC also has a dependable arm in Grant Govel, who earned First Team All-Big Ten honors this season. The right-hander enters the Super Regional with a 10-2 record, a 2.96 ERA, and 92 strikeouts against just 13 walks. Govel averages 8.8 strikeouts per nine innings and gives the Trojans another proven option in a pitching staff that has been one of the best in the country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/01626466-b626-4599-91b3-077b8ab7bc8d/Augie+Lopez+-+C.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Super Regional Preview - Augie Lopez - C USC’s catcher Augie Lopez, who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the College Station Regional.

Along with a fantastic performance over the three-game stretch, Paulsen also provided one of the best quotes of the weekend. When asked about many people dubbing the Chapel Hill regional as the “regional of death,” he responded with “Yeah, we knew it was the region of death for everybody else.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/ae0807fc-abcf-4d1b-bc65-21c680033855/Colin+Hynek+%281%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Regional MVPs - UNC may have been facing off against ECU in the winner’s bracket on Saturday, but it definitely felt like a must-win game for both teams. In the 4th inning, the Pirates were up 3-0 with all of the momentum. Colin Hynek came to the plate with two runners on and swung through the first pitch he saw. Scott Forbes immediately called a timeout and spoke with Hynek for a moment. The very next pitch he saw went 400+ feet over the centerfield wall, tying the game. It was undoubtedly the biggest hit of the season for a North Carolina team that has had plenty of big hits this year. The momentum flipped towards UNC, and the Heels ultimately got the win, 7-5. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/f10f4ec1-ba4f-4548-9f68-ec49377b8edd/jackson+rose+%281%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Regional MVPs - UNC has several talented arms, both in the weekend rotation and coming out of the bullpen. And with guys like Caden Glauber and Jason DeCaro, a guy like Jackson Rose is often overlooked. But on Sunday, in the regional championship game, Rose took center stage and showed why he’s one of the many special young pitchers on a loaded UNC roster. He was almost perfect in four innings of relief, giving up no hits and just one walk, closing out the game for the Tar Heels and sending them on to the super regional round. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/31b7c31a-bfa4-4cb6-9a3f-8e572bc08d4b/HExrXK_aIAAZfjq+%281%29.webp Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Regional MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/d13133a3-297e-46e9-984c-f816731bce3e/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/d13133a3-297e-46e9-984c-f816731bce3e/thumbnail Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Regional MVPs Footage from ACC Network https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/abbe2967-3fd8-4011-b2ae-5f6ada048f05/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/abbe2967-3fd8-4011-b2ae-5f6ada048f05/thumbnail Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Regional MVPs Footage from ACC Network https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/4d693163-8460-401b-ab88-fa9095e7fcd9/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/4d693163-8460-401b-ab88-fa9095e7fcd9/thumbnail Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina Chapel Hill Regional MVPs Footage from ACC Network https://www.heelsonfranklin.com/articles-news/chapel-hill-regional-preview monthly 0.5 2026-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/ba14d856-0cec-419a-835b-9352aebf0406/Copy+of+Copy+of+check2+%2819%29.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Regional Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/d80aa7cb-7c29-4a45-98d6-169e2fd11a48/Untitled+design+%287%29.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Regional Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/a8366d16-3095-46f9-9bb3-b41880b4e5ef/VCU+Info.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Regional Preview - VCU enters the Chapel Hill Regional with a 37-23 record and a 10-14 mark away from home. The Rams went 0-6 in Quad 1 games and 3-3 in Quad 2 matchups, but they arrive in Chapel Hill playing some of their best baseball of the season. VCU closed the regular season with three straight series wins, including sweeps over Saint Louis and Davidson, along with a road series win at Saint Joseph’s. The Rams finished second in the Atlantic 10 regular season behind Saint Joseph’s before winning the A-10 Tournament championship with a 9-1 victory over Rhode Island. That tournament run was especially notable because VCU had to win three straight elimination games after losing to Rhode Island earlier in the week. Now, the Rams come to Boshamer Stadium as a confident No. 4 seed with recent postseason momentum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/dfb37b85-c9ae-4df2-a34e-b9b6f7a31476/Tenn+%281%29.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Regional Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/7c9abb57-d0b8-42b9-9500-b00440cb78ae/Tenn+Info.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Regional Preview - Tennessee enters the Chapel Hill Regional with a 38-20 record, including a 7-8 mark on the road and a 3-2 record at neutral sites. The Volunteers went 13-14 in Quad 1 games and 2-2 in Quad 2 matchups, giving them a battle-tested profile coming out of the SEC. Tennessee closed the regular season by winning two of its final three series. The Vols dropped two of three at Kentucky, but responded by taking two of three against Texas and two of three on the road at Oklahoma. In SEC play, Tennessee finished 10th with a 15-15 conference record. The Volunteers opened the SEC Tournament with an 11-6 win over South Carolina before falling to Arkansas, 8-4, in the second round. Overall, Tennessee comes to Chapel Hill as a dangerous No. 2 seed with a strong résumé, plenty of high-level competition under its belt, and the kind of SEC experience that makes it one of the more notable teams in the regional field. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/1af6f783-9744-4790-a582-afac126be562/Tenn.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Regional Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/86ee3ff7-5c28-4fdc-bb5c-2c555ae74af4/ECU+Info.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Regional Preview - ECU enters the Chapel Hill Regional with a 36-22-1 record, including a 10-12 mark on the road and a 5-1 record at neutral sites.

The Pirates finished tied for first in the AAC regular season with UTSA at 17-10. In the AAC Tournament, ECU had to work its way back after a 4-2 loss to UTSA. The Pirates won two straight elimination games, then avenged that loss in the championship with a 1-0 win over UTSA to claim the title. Ethan Norby delivered one of the biggest performances of the tournament, pitching a gem to help send ECU into the postseason with momentum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/a430522d-e32e-4968-8ced-d3688cb0721c/Copy+of+Copy+of+check2+%2823%29.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Regional Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/df161928-6166-48a5-97c8-38bb565573bc/Copy+of+Copy+of+check2+%2825%29.png Articles | News - Chapel Hill Regional Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/9a1e8614-9918-487e-998a-3a687f2c7f58/Photo1+%281%29.webp Articles | News - Chapel Hill Regional Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heelsonfranklin.com/articles-news/unc-vs-virginia-tech-preview monthly 0.5 2026-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/7bd7f1ec-625e-453a-aabf-6c78a5806233/Copy+of+Copy+of+check2+%2818%29.png Articles | News - UNC vs Virginia Tech Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/5ec6c6d7-ed6c-4ee2-86e7-b481f5bfa73e/6a05e73f29bc9.image.jpg Articles | News - UNC vs Virginia Tech Preview - Make it stand out Nick Carlson / Virginia Tech Athletics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/59bf003d-5458-4e38-8d03-2242c8111153/3.7.26-Ethan-Ball-1536x864.webp Articles | News - UNC vs Virginia Tech Preview - Make it stand out Virginia Tech Athletics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/be8a39a8-8664-442c-8807-74339bfed622/VADvpho0ORVDC94EPdnBuxryISFPiE8GyxGOQMyU.webp Articles | News - UNC vs Virginia Tech Preview - Make it stand out Virginia Tech Athletics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/b3561891-b3cc-49bc-b023-34ab4129491f/847vyGxkQbp635DJvRV0DvsWHdMEEgA4vp7vW1y4.webp Articles | News - UNC vs Virginia Tech Preview - Make it stand out Virginia Tech Athletics https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/8315b4a7-73a3-4a94-985b-65f4205da83f/one+%288%29.png Articles | News - UNC vs Virginia Tech Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heelsonfranklin.com/articles-news/andrews-carolina-vs-nc-state-series-mvps monthly 0.5 2026-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/f11341d7-8347-42c3-847c-64c0f605f84d/Copy+of+Copy+of+check2+%2815%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs. NC State Series MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/4523d951-d0d7-406f-ac31-1f40faebc713/How%2BHe%2BChoose%2BMVPs.webp Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs. NC State Series MVPs Andrew’s MVPs highlight the players who made the biggest impact, focusing on moments that matter, not just the stats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/ecc10dd8-002d-482a-9f5c-1490ce135fcd/Owen+Hull+%2828%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs. NC State Series MVPs For much of this season, Owen Hull has been UNC’s most consistent hitter. And as of late, he’s added more power to his game. This weekend against NC State, the centerfielder hit his sixth home run of the season and recorded his team-leading 67 RBI. As of late, Hull has shown a perfect blend of gap power and plate discipline, as was seen this weekend with his three walks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/faec68fd-08ae-4d9b-a54b-57fb89781d9c/Macon+Winslow+%281%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs. NC State Series MVPs A few weeks ago, Winslow took a pretty nasty hit on the arm. Against High Point, he was called for catcher interference on a play in which his wrist caught the bat's barrel. He’s done very little catching since then; instead, he's terrorizing teams from the DH spot. This weekend, he pitched in four hits (two doubles) and four RBIs, and since becoming UNC’s primary designated hitter, his batting average has climbed back up over .300. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/5b1253e9-a2f8-435e-a34a-23e07f549a88/Erik+Paulsen.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs. NC State Series MVPs In game 2 against NC State, the Tar Heels raced out to a 10-2 lead in the 4th inning. But a potent Wolfpack lineup refused to go down quietly. They responded with five runs of their own in the bottom of the 4th, and things were looking a bit dicey for UNC. But just a few minutes later, in the 5th inning, Paulsen came to the plate and gave the Heels plenty of breathing room, sending an opposite-field shot over the fence with the bases loaded. It was a huge hit for Paulsen, who has been struggling at the plate a bit as of late. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/b0a9157b-3085-42c3-83a2-11956dae881a/Photo1.webp Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs. NC State Series MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heelsonfranklin.com/articles-news/andrews-pittsburgh-vs-carolina-series-mvps monthly 0.5 2026-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/786ac6a4-2714-4d33-bac6-910333909ccb/Copy+of+Copy+of+check2+%2814%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Pittsburgh vs. Carolina Series MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/38ed64f5-52de-4250-83cf-b3f07512f19e/How+He+Choose+MVPs.jpeg Articles | News - Andrew’s Pittsburgh vs. Carolina Series MVPs Andrew’s MVPs highlight the players who made the biggest impact, focusing on moments that matter, not just the stats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/4423ed14-be3c-47b7-86f0-cd0f23764e51/Cooper+Nicholson+%281%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Pittsburgh vs. Carolina Series MVPs In recent weeks, Nicholson has been one of the most productive and consistent bats in the Tar Heel lineup. After a slow start to the season, it seems that the Iowa native has found his stride, as evidenced by his move up the lineup. Scott Forbes has stated numerous times that Nicholson was UNC’s best hitter in the fall, and of late, he’s showing a great blend of both power and plate discipline. Over the weekend, he hit his team-leading 12th and 13th home runs of the season while also making a couple of fantastic plays over at third base. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/334a54a5-d065-4413-af12-8bb50e36d9db/Colin+Hynek.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Pittsburgh vs. Carolina Series MVPs In the 6th inning of Sunday’s game, UNC was deadlocked in a 2-2 ballgame when Colin Hynek came to the plate. He proceeded to hit a shot into left field, scoring Cooper Nicholson, and the Tar Heels never looked back. In the 7th inning, Hynek recorded another hit, scoring two more runs and extending UNC’s lead. The catcher was paramount in helping the Heels get the sweep over Pitt in the regular-season home finale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/4a1666fe-b49d-4e34-a46d-3cdae39ae22f/_Jason+DeCaro+%282%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Pittsburgh vs. Carolina Series MVPs The series win over Pitt marked UNC’s eighth straight series win. A large part of the success can be attributed to DeCaro setting the tone for the weekend early. His rough midseason patch is a distant memory, and the junior ace is again showing why he’s considered a top pitching prospect in the upcoming MLB Draft. In recent weeks, DeCaro has seen an uptick in strikeouts as well as improved command. If it continues, the Tar Heels will be primed for another deep postseason run. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/9d142e65-6279-4d74-bc61-ee3d9ef70c4f/Photo1.jpeg Articles | News - Andrew’s Pittsburgh vs. Carolina Series MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heelsonfranklin.com/articles-news/andrews-carolina-vs-duke-series-mvps monthly 0.5 2026-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/f5957f2f-3bf7-4d79-a956-df0308adf37d/Copy+of+Copy+of+check2+%2813%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Duke Series MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/a2c5c145-da8e-438c-be2e-32fc60c19d8b/Tate%2BMcKee%2B-%2BRHP%2B%2B%281%29.webp Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Duke Series MVPs Andrew’s MVPs highlight the players who made the biggest impact, focusing on moments that matter, not just the stats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/c6428424-2e9b-4eb8-b6a2-3b4eddba121c/Jason+D.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Duke Series MVPs In the series opener against Duke, DeCaro showed why he is still Carolina’s ace. The junior was fantastic, giving up just three hits in over seven innings pitched. He consistently got Duke’s bats to hit into weak contact (9 total groundouts) and had good command—something he’s struggled with at times late. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/db26de40-5857-4b48-a68c-5d338fe9a2e8/Ryan+Lynch.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Duke Series MVPs Despite losing the middle game of the series, Lynch had his best performance in quite some time. He consistently pounded the strike zone, walking just one while striking out nine. Unfortunately, Lynch was the recipient of some bad luck. Duke scored three runs in the 1st inning off of two Tar Heel errors, and the Carolina bats could never really get going. But despite the loss, Lynch showed why, when they’re pitching like they did this series, he and Jason DeCaro are as good a 1-2 punch as you’ll find anywhere in the country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/67cf7213-8e26-4a7a-a1df-fb7bab244b54/Owen+Hull+%286%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Duke Series MVPs When you’re responsible for over a quarter of your team’s runs in a series, you know you’re seeing the ball well. That’s exactly what Owen Hull did against Duke, racking up eight total RBIs in the three games. Hull is not only getting on base at a high clip, but he’s continuing to show some power of late, hitting his third home run in as many series in Saturday’s 22-5 rout of the Blue Devils. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/61479937-71a0-4aca-97f9-44ad5deb2a94/HOTH%2B%2812%29.webp Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Duke Series MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heelsonfranklin.com/articles-news/ricz3zhfqvl2ua8k5e78ytt0p0vg4h monthly 0.5 2026-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/86c8647e-066a-44d2-a4db-7335ad78da93/Copy+of+Copy+of+check2+%289%29.png Articles | News - UNC Baseball vs Duke Preview - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/300719d9-8de5-4fed-a7fc-f0c39b537a97/convert+%281%29.webp Articles | News - UNC Baseball vs Duke Preview - Head-to-Head vs. UNC Since 1955, UNC is 150-48 against Duke (66-23 away) (7-3 over the last 10 meetings) The two teams last met in 2024 for a three-game series in Chapel Hill last year.

Hit .298 last season (.435 OBP) with 10 HR and 45 RBIs. Started all 62 games for Duke last year. His BA is quite a bit lower this season at .231; however, he still leads Duke in OBP (.456). Walks a ton- he has 40 walks so far this season, which is near the top in the ACC. Interesting fact: He is the nephew of former Tar Heel Ethan Albright, who was First Team All-ACC in 1993 (offensive tackle) and went on to play 16 seasons in the NFL as a long snapper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/1098edea-6e97-4fd1-8a16-516e031ad3ae/Andy+Leon+-+RHP.png Articles | News - UNC Baseball vs Duke Preview - Andy Leon - RHP Columbia transfer Duke’s Sunday starter (I think he’s the best of Duke’s weekend starters). 2-2, 5.15 ERA, 41 Ks, 18 walks, 8.5 SO9. Leon has had an up and down season. He has had some strong outings (6.0 IP, 1 ER, 2 hits, 2 Ks, 1 walk) against NC State, but he’s also had some starts where he’s struggled and is pulled early. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/524edc9c-5d6e-47ac-9f6d-c1f2e6f7c2e2/Ad+%287%29.png Articles | News - UNC Baseball vs Duke Preview - Latest Show!

In all three games, the Tar Heel leadoff man got things started in the 1st inning, getting on base, scoring, and setting the tone. He continues to be a headache for opposing pitchers, working walks, finding gaps, and causing chaos on the base paths. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/b7cb8b01-a51e-4346-9be8-7337c6a9fdda/Owen+Hull+%285%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Georgia Tech Series MVPs Hull continues to be Carolina’s most consistent hitter. Coming into this weekend, few people gave the Heels much of a chance to win the series. But after taking game 1, Hull busted game 2 wide open with his 2nd inning grand slam, en route to a run rule victory over the second ranked Yellow Jackets. Thanks in large to Hull’s huge homer (and his eight total RBIs on the weekend), the Tar Heels showed the entire country that they belong in the conversation of national championship contenders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/b17360bc-4469-49a9-ac13-fadcb02f41b5/_Jason+DeCaro.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Georgia Tech Series MVPs After two rough outings in a row, Jason DeCaro bounced back with a strong performance against the nation’s best offense. In five innings, he held the Jackets to just one run on five hits. DeCaro was masterful in working out of jams, keeping Georgia Tech’s offense off the board until the 6th inning. In the top of the 4th inning, with runners on second and third, DeCaro proceeded to strike out the next two batters he faced — both of whom were hitting over .360. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/c03387de-87f8-4a54-8865-87e120e7eaca/HOTH+%2812%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Georgia Tech Series MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heelsonfranklin.com/articles-news/andrews-carolina-vs-clemson-series-mvps monthly 0.5 2026-04-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/b7cbd30e-cc8f-45c7-834c-3fc121cd4ed5/Copy+of+Copy+of+check2+%286%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Clemson Series MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/aa5bb5c1-2c06-4e41-811e-03623cac085a/HExoy4fbQAAyEM2.webp Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Clemson Series MVPs - Andrew’s MVPs highlight the players who made the biggest impact, focusing on moments that matter, not just the stats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/583e80e6-7c45-466c-bec4-6664422865a9/Owen+Hull+%284%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Clemson Series MVPs - Hull continues to be a hit machine for the Tar Heels, hitting over .500 for the weekend. His slow start at the plate at the beginning of the season has become a thing of ancient history. He capped the weekend off with a fantastic rubber match performance, going 5-6 on Sunday with a home run, double, and five RBIs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/156876fa-2e7c-444d-be5b-5a756bca15cd/Macon+Winslow.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Clemson Series MVPs - Winslow had a solid weekend at the plate, hitting .385 in the series. However, his most impressive performance came from behind the dish, where he caught all 14 innings of Saturday’s marathon. The catcher had a huge play in the 10th inning, throwing out Jarren Purify, who was trying to steal second. And despite some command issues from UNC pitchers, Winslow never let a pitch get away from him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/11ec8034-67b8-465d-9bd3-474594dd79dd/Caden+Glauber+%2811%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Clemson Series MVPs - It doesn’t get more high leverage than pitching in extra innings, but Caden Glauber continued to show why Scott Forbes trusts him so much in critical situations. The freshman came into the game in the 9th inning and held Clemson scoreless until UNC’s bats could get going in the 14th. Even when he got himself into some trouble, Glauber never panicked. One of the biggest moments of the game came in the 10th inning when Glauber somehow got out of a bases-loaded jam with just one out and facing a 3-0 count. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/57137ca0-6e05-4045-9fd9-54baaffa37a5/HExrXK_aIAAZfjq.webp Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Clemson Series MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heelsonfranklin.com/articles-news/andrews-mvps-vs-bc monthly 0.5 2026-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/a0911bec-63dd-4390-825b-e5a61bfc726c/Copy+of+Copy+of+check2+%284%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Boston College Series MVPs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/0ff3d94a-d324-49bf-9b39-5d5da250ef6d/HExoy4fbQAAyEM2.jpg Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Boston College Series MVPs - Andrew’s MVPs highlight the players who made the biggest impact, focusing on moments that matter, not just the stats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/db624ac7-ac91-4097-84f4-f1d29ca26850/Walker+McDuffie.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Boston College Series MVPs - Against Boston College, Walker McDuffie became the first Tar Heel pitcher in four years to pitch at least one inning in all three games of a weekend series. And he was lights out in doing so, coming into numerous high leverage situations and giving up only one run while collecting two saves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/f5b319fe-0b71-4695-8f48-8015e12f2b01/Jake+Schaffner.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Boston College Series MVPs - Schaffner continues to be a hard out for opposing pitchers at the top of UNC’s lineup. In a series where runs were somewhat limited, he was one of the few consistent bats in all three games. The shortstop also pitched in some fantastic defense in a weekend where the Heels turned seven double plays. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b37cef011188577b5a8107/d14d3b3b-fc40-4516-b79d-af210e7f767d/Caden+Glauber+%281%29.png Articles | News - Andrew’s Carolina vs Boston College Series MVPs - On Saturday, starting pitcher Jason DeCaro was dealing with illness and was chased from the game after only throwing 2.2 innings. Glauber came in and picked up the slack, pitching more than five innings while only giving up one run.
