Sixteen and seventeen. Who needs three games to win two if two and an epic rain delay and frozen pickle pops will do it for you? Five trips to Omaha in the last six years. And frankly, I’m really grateful that we don’t have to sit in the Bosh and the boiling sun for game…

Fifteen. Virginia got one of their own back last night, but we’re still 3-1 against them this year, and Steven Proscia still only has one hit to his name against Carolina’s pitching staff. So there’s that.
college baseball: uva @ unc, 2011
Twelve, thirteen and fourteen. On Thursday, pocket-sized pitcher Patrick Johnson held Virginia scoreless for the first time in their last 166 games, tossing a complete game 9K masterpiece that got me what I wanted from the weekend: to not get swept. On Friday, four Carolina underclassmen held the third best offense in the ACC to…
college baseball: unc-asheville @ unc
Eleven. A lesson to all young pitchers: if a batter sends a particular pitch 425 feet out of the park, don’t throw it to him again in his second at-bat. It will, like the first pitch, go real far, real fast, right out of the stadium. Bryant Gaines was otherwise stellar, the bullpen was beastly,…

Ten. Oh, 18 year olds playing baseball, you are the most ridiculous.
college baseball: umd @ unc, game 1
Nine. Patrick Johnson, who Coach Fox once referred to as the kitchen sink, struck out a career-high 12 in seven scoreless innings last night; he was still touching the mid-90s at the end of his 129 pitch outing. It was masterful. Although to be fair, I would primarily classify the University of Maryland baseball team…
college baseball: clemson @ unc
Five, six, and seven. The best thing about Clemson baseball, besides how many curse words head coach Jack Leggett knows, is knowing that all those Clemson fans had to live in Clemson, South Carolina at one point. It’s very satisfying. Of course, so is a three game sweep starting with two ass-whoopings and finishing with…
college baseball: duke @ unc, march ’11
Four. We only made one game of the three in the series that we had tickets for, yesterday’s 11-2 UNC win. Circumstances, and weather. It feels like December here, cold winds and cold temperatures and cold rain, though it’s almost April. I’m sluggish and restless today, but freezing to death watching baseball wasn’t the answer,…
baseball: stony brook @ unc
Two. Stony Brook, in getting outscored 34-11 over the weekend, did not lend any credence to the theory that northern college baseball teams, a few exceptions excluded, are getting any more regularly competitive with the warm weather teams. Carolina knocked the snot out of them in Game 2 of the series Saturday, and our pitching…
baseball: seton hall @ unc, game 2
One. A perfect short sleeve sunny baseball afternoon, and Carolina improves to 6-0, winning 7-1. Everyone on the team, coaches included, is rocking the tall socks this year, and I couldn’t be happier. Full photo set here.
