The Diamond Heels built a massive lead and held off a desperate West Virginia rally in the late innings to beat the Mountaineers 12-7 and advance to the national championship series in Omaha this weekend.

Carolina led the entire game, scoring two runs in the first inning, three in the third, three in the fourth, two in the sixth and two in the seventh to lead the Mountaineers 12-1. Owen Hull and Gavin Gallaher drove the UNC offense, each banging out four hits and combining for six RBI and five runs scored.

That offense stood in support of a collective pitching effort. Folger Boaz started the game but only lasted an inning after allowing an early run. Freshman Jackson Rose entered in relief and earned the win with 4.1 innings of shutout ball.

Carolina’s bullpen had to navigate some nervy final outs after the Mountaineers scored five runs with two outs in the seventh, cutting a 12-1 lead down to 12-6. UNC was forced to call upon Caden Glauber, who put out the fire and, despite allowing a solo home run in the eighth, saw the win out.

This is UNC’s first appearance in the national championship series since 2007, and the Diamond Heels have now won each of their first three games in Omaha for the first time since 2006. Carolina is 28-0 this season when Glauber pitches, 20-0 when scoring multiple runs in the first inning and 41-1 when leading by four or more runs at any times. The 12 runs scored were also Carolina’s most ever in a game at the Men’s College World Series.

The national championship series begins Saturday at 7 p.m. Eastern time. UNC will play either No. 3 Georgia or Oklahoma, who will play in Omaha later tonight in the second semifinal.
