Coming off a year in which they failed to make the ACC tournament and suffered several key personnel losses, the fans of the University of North Carolina’s baseball team did not have high expectations for the 2011 season. The players and coaching staff felt otherwise.
The Tar Heels recently capped off a memorable and exciting season that saw them post a 51-14 record and make the College World Series for the fifth time in six seasons. What made this trip to Omaha the most improbable was the relative inexperience of this young squad and the lack of premium talent that has recently come through Chapel Hill.
Instead, this group far exceeded expectations, formed a tight bond and overcame significant adversity. North Carolina’s journey from an unranked team to one that earned a #3 national seed and another trip to Omaha was filled with memorable games, plays and storylines.
With the recent end to the college baseball season, here is a look back at the Top 10 moments of the Tar Heels’ 2011 season:
