A storied program returns to the national stage
The North Carolina Tar Heels have once again earned a spot in the College World Series, sparking excitement among players, alumni, and fans who remember the program’s deep postseason history.
Their recent surge mirrors the remarkable 2013 campaign, a season that produced a 52‑8 record, the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, and a dramatic 13‑inning contest against Florida Atlantic that tested the team’s resolve.
The 2013 miracle that still resonates
In that extra‑inning showdown, Mike Zolk delivered a two‑RBI single to knot the score, and Brian Holberton followed with a walk‑off single in the 13th to secure the victory and propel the team into the Super Regionals.
Although the 2013 squad ultimately fell short in Omaha, the memory of that marathon game continues to inspire the current roster, who see the past as a blueprint for achieving a first national championship.
Looking ahead
As the Tar Heels begin their tournament journey, the university is inviting supporters to share their favorite UNC baseball memories, hoping to weave new stories into a legacy that has already produced unforgettable moments.
