The top seed and host of their region, UNC entered the bottom of the ninth trailing, 6-5. Freshman Aaron Sabato tied it up on the first pitch.
The game then entered a three-hour rain delay. Once play resumed, the Tar Heels proceeded to get the bases loaded with one out. Expecting a squeeze play, UNCW brought in an extra infielder. How do you beat a loaded infield? By missing the bunt and getting caught in a rundown, apparently.
That's probably not how anyone on the UNC side imagined a walk-off win playing out, but sometimes you just have to take the win, no matter how you come about it.
