Summary
Owen Hull lined the game-winning hit in the ninth as UNC erased a 3-2 deficit and beat USC 4-3 to reach Omaha.
Hull drove Carolina’s offense with three doubles and two RBIs after USC starter Andrew Johnson held UNC to two earned runs over 7.2 innings.
The comeback turned on Cooper Nicholson’s walk, Carter French’s single and Jake Schaffner’s sacrifice fly, which tied the game before Hull’s final swing.
Caden Glauber kept UNC close with a career-high 11 strikeouts in 7.1 innings, despite USC solo homers from Kevin Takeuchi and Andrew Lamb.
The win sends UNC to its 13th Men’s College World Series, its second in three seasons, and sets up an opener against Ole Miss on Friday.
