Sunday, June 7, at 3 p.m. Eastern Time, ESPN will air the decisive Game 3 of the Chapel Hill Super Regional, a matchup that could send one of college baseball’s powerhouses to the sport’s premier event.
The previous two games have already delivered drama: USC opened the series with a 9‑5 victory, but UNC answered back in Game 2, shutting out the opposition 4‑0 behind a complete‑game effort from pitcher Jason DeCaro.
For the Tar Heels, the stakes are especially high. They are chasing their 13th appearance at the College World Series and, more importantly, their first national championship, a milestone that has eluded the program despite decades of near‑misses.
The road to Omaha
USC, meanwhile, brings a storied pedigree to the field. The Trojans boast the nation’s most championships — 12 titles — and have logged 21 trips to the CWS, making every Super Regional appearance a chance to add another chapter to their legacy.
The winner of this Chapel Hill showdown will advance to Omaha, where they will meet the victor of the Auburn‑Ole Miss matchup, continuing a path that could culminate in a historic championship run.
