North Carolina secured their first victory in the 2024 Men’s College World Series with a thrilling 3-2 walk-off win over Virginia. The Diamond Heels came out on top thanks to a clutch hit from Vance Honeycutt, a top-30 MLB draft prospect, in the bottom of the ninth inning.
UNC has shown their resilience and talent throughout the tournament, pulling off a walk-off victory against West Virginia in the Chapel Hill Super Regional just days before. With this win under their belt, they are now positioned to wait for the outcome of the Tennessee-Florida State matchup, which is set to begin later tonight at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. As they continue to make a deep run towards the championship, UNC’s ability to stay strong in crucial moments will be key to their success.
