CWS: UNC up early

By Lindsay Schnell - June 24, 2006

Well that was quick.

North Carolina is already up 2-0 after two RBI singles in the bottom of the first inning. The Tar Heels' bats look hot early, and Oregon State is going to have to get going offensively. The Beaver cannot afford to dig themselves in an early hole, especially because the last time they did that and kept Buck on the mound it turned ugly, fast.

Despite the hits -- let's be honest, UNC just looked ready from the get-go -- Buck doesn't look too rattled. The second inning will really be the test. I think if UNC scores more right away Oregon State MUST pull him.

Think Jonah Nickerson could go if needed? I am, of course, only kidding.

Kinda.
