Diamond Heels Head to Omaha for College World Series
The University of North Carolina’s baseball team, nicknamed the Diamond Heels, will open its participation in the Men’s College World Series in Omaha this weekend, meeting Ole Miss on Friday evening at 7 p.m.
Games will be broadcast live on ESPN, while radio listeners can tune in on 97.9 FM and 1360 AM for play‑by‑play commentary.
For viewers who do not have traditional cable, several streaming services carry the ESPN feed. YouTube TV offers the channel as part of its $83‑per‑month package, while Hulu TV includes ESPN in its $89‑per‑month plan but omits NBA TV and the NFL RedZone channel. The most economical choice is Sling TV’s Orange package, priced at $46 per month and providing access to ESPN.
Streaming Landscape for Cord‑Cutters
Sling’s Blue tier does not carry the sports network, so fans seeking the cheapest route should consider the Orange offering, which balances cost with access to the tournament’s key broadcasts.
With the first matchup looming, the Diamond Heels hope to translate their regular‑season momentum into a deep run in the national championship.
