OMAHA, Neb. — Casey Cook never had a doubt.⁠
⁠
It didn’t matter that junior centerfielder Vance Honeycutt was 0-4 that afternoon. It didn’t matter that senior shortstop Colby Wilkerson had just popped out to the catcher, wasting an opportunity with a runner on third with one out.⁠
⁠
None of it did. ⁠
⁠
“I think everyone in the dugout knew [Honeycutt] was going to come through,” Cook, the redshirt sophomore left fielder said. “And that's what happened.”⁠
⁠
With the winning run 90 feet away in a 2-2 game against No. 12 Virginia on Friday, Honeycutt delivered more walk-off magic for the Tar Heels. Ahead in the count, he reached out for a 77 mph slider on the outside of the plate and roped it past the reaching shortstop’s glove into left field. ⁠
⁠
Honeycutt’s late-game heroics delivered the Tar Heels a win in the opening game of the 2024 Men’s College World Series. The victory was UNC’s first in Omaha in 2,190 days and the team’s third walk-off win in seven games. ⁠
