Virginia and North Carolina are set to face off in a thrilling NCAA Baseball matchup on June 14, 2024, at 2:00 pm ET.
The Tar Heels defeated LSU, the reigning champions to get out of the Chapel Hill regional. Then, for the first time since 2018, they managed to hold off irate West Virginia in order to punch their ticket to Omaha.
North Carolina's offense is led by junior outfielder Vance Honeycutt, a power hitter who recently hit a single-season program record with his 26th home run of the year. In the NCAA Tournament, he has already made four hits, two of which came in the Super Regionals.
The Cavaliers have advanced to the College World Series for the second time in program history after defeating Kansas State and Mississippi State. This is their third trip to Omaha in the previous four seasons. With a strong lineup that included players like Bobby Whalen (.370 AVG) and Harrison Didawick (23 home runs), two-out hitting helped lead Virginia to Omaha.
In their previous meeting, which took place in Charlottesville over a three-game series at the start of April, Virginia won two of the three games.
