Arizona (44-19) knocks off the No. 5 overall seed North Carolina 4-3 in Tar Heels' own backyard to win the Chapel Hill Super Regional and now head for Omaha for next week's College World Series.
Let's just follow my notes! Way to go, Wildcats
Two innings in the books. Arizona 1 North Carolina 0
Solo homer to left field in the second inning by Garen Caulfield.
***I'm nervous!
North Carolina 3 Arizona 1...after three innings.
A three-run homer off Smith Bailey by the Tar Heels...it may have been a long out at Hi Corbett.
Freshman Smith Bailey has an impressive six innings of work, but Arizona still trails Tar Heels 3-1. 94 pitches were thrown...well done, young man!
Top of the eighth. The first two batters reached for the Wildcats -- Andrew Cain on a single and Tommy Splaine reached on an error. Tar Heels starter leaves after throwing 91 pitches. Reliever in for North Carolina.
Easton Breyfogle bunts, collision at first...safe...run scores. Brefogle leaves the game...3-2, still no outs!
Brendan Summerhill walks...bases loaded!
Mason White responds with a two-run single up the middle. The Wildcats lead 4-3.
Adonys Guzman hits into a double play.
We head to the bottom of the eighth.
Casey Hintz, in relief of Julian Tonghini, in the bottom of the eighth.
Hintz survives the inning and gets out of the jam with the bases loaded.
Still, 4-3 Wildcats heading into the ninth.
Tony Pluta toes the rubber for the Wildcats in the bottom of the ninth.
Arizona Wins! Arizona Wins!
Wildcats are heading for Omaha!
From the desk of a happy Arizona Wildcats fan.
