The second game of the Chapel Hill Super Regional is set for Saturday, June 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, pitting the North Carolina Tar Heels against the USC Trojans in a battle that could decide a trip to the Men’s College Baseball World Series in Omaha.
Key storylines
USC entered the series with a 9-5 victory in the opener, a performance highlighted by Dean Carpentier’s four‑run homer and Erik Paulsen’s three‑hit effort. The Trojans’ pitching staff, anchored by Chase Herrell, limited the Tar Heels to a modest tally despite a combined eight earned runs allowed by Ryan Lynch and Walker McDuffie.
A win for the Trojans would send them straight to the national championship event, while a North Carolina triumph would force a decisive Game 3 back in Chapel Hill, extending the series and giving the Tar Heels another chance to claim the super regional.
The game will be televised on ESPN and available for live streaming through Fubo, giving fans multiple ways to follow the action from the stands at Boshamer Stadium.
With both programs eyeing their next steps, the stakes are high and the atmosphere electric, as the outcome will shape the path forward for each team in the postseason.
