The excitement in Chapel Hill isn't going to die down anytime soon. In the Super Regional finale at The Bosh, UNC was able to record an unforgettable comeback win against USC, punching its ticket to the College World Series. As you all know by now, Owen Hull was the hero, as his walk-off hit sealed the deal for the Diamond Heels.
For Owen Hull, the journey to UNC was all about moments like this
Right when he made contact with the ball, fans had a feeling that it was going to keep carrying and that the Heels would sprint onto the field to celebrate in memorable fashion. Thanks to the team over at Inside Carolina, we've been given another view of things, and it's downright awesome. Take a look for yourself:
Bosh Magic Strikes Again.

Owen Hull was the hero for UNC baseball with the College World Series up next
That environment at the ballpark was downright electric. And the celebrations from the fans could have probably been heard all the way over in Durham - can someone remind us when Duke is getting ready to take the field next? We kid, we kid.
As for Hull, he came up HUGE for Carolina with the game on line. In that video above, the sound of the bat making contact with the delivery is sweet, but the ensuing sound from everyone in the stands makes things even better. For Hull, you just know this moment meant a ton to him, as he came up big for head man Scott Forbes with his number called. Forbes himself was fired up over the ending.
"I think they were just trying to throw an extra fastball away, and he was aggressive," Forbes said after the thrilling win. "Reminded me of the same type of swing Michael Busch started to take as he progressed in his career. But man, that was an unbelievable moment for me to watch that ball fall and watch this guy, Dr. French, cross that plate. So that was awesome.”
With that Game 3 win over the Trojans, the Tar Heels are now Omaha-bound, and a big-time matchup against Ole Miss is on the way on Friday, June 12. The magical run for Carolina continues, as this team keeps inching its way closer to national title glory. Fans are starting to dream of UNC pulling this off, too, as the vibes could not be better right now.
The Rebels will, of course, look to play spoiler, but UNC will enter things as the favorites to move on to the next round. That, of course, isn't going to be easy for this group, but time and time again, the Heels have found a way to silence the haters. Following the Game 1 loss to USC in the Super Regional, plenty of people thought the season was about to end for the ACC side.
Instead, Jason DeCaro was dominant in the Game 2 win, while Hull came up huge when he needed to on Sunday. Will he be ready to provide some more magic with the College World Series here? That could end up being the case, but don't be surprised if someone else steps up for Forbes as well.
