What channel is UNC baseball on Sunday? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Regional Final
What channel is UNC baseball on Sunday? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Regional Final Here's all the broadcasting information you need to know for Sunday's Chapel Hill Regional Final. UNC will play the winner of Nebraska and Oklahoma. After escaping Holy Cross 4-0 in Friday's Chapel Hill Regional Opener, the UNC baseball team faced a significantly tougher challenge Saturday, facing the Oklahoma Sooners and future first-round MLB Draft Pick Kyson Witherspoon. North Carolina battled some tough pitchers throughout their regular season and the ACC Tournament, but none like Witherspoon, who entered with a 10-3 win-loss record and sub-3.00 earned rune average. The Diamond Heels knew how difficult of a pitcher Witherspoon was to crack, but took full advantage, jumping all over Oklahoma's ace in an 11-5 victory. UNC (44-12) tagged Witherspoon for six runs in the first inning alone – and nine overall. As a result of its latest dominant victory against a quality opponent, North Carolina advanced to its own Chapel Hill Regional Final, in which it will face the winner of Nebraska and Oklahoma (36-21), at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday for a trip to the Super Regionals. The Diamond Heels used a solid combination of small ball and power hitting to conquer Witherspoon early, scoring three of their six first-inning runs on singles. UNC delivered the dagger far down its batting lineup, when designated hitter Sam Angelo blasted a 3-run shot, way beyond the left field wall in Boshamer Stadium. The Cornhuskers (33-28) eliminated Holy Cross on Saturday morning, 4-1, but not without facing some adversity. The Crusaders took a 1-0 lead, thanks to a Sean Scanlon home run in the top of the fifth inning, but never scored again. Nebraska scored twice in the bottom of the fifth, thanks to a 2-run home run from Cayden Brumbaugh, taking a 2-1 lead it never relinquished. Are you traveling to Boshamer Stadium for Sunday's Chapel Hill Regional Final? Have a blast, cheer until your voice is hoarse and fill the stands with Carolina Blue.

The Diamond Heels could very well face the Sooners again tonight, depending on how the Oklahoma-Nebraska game plays out this afternoon. The Sooners are a better team than the Cornhuskers, so whoever UNC plays, I expect another big victory in Chapel Hill tonight.

Washington Commanders rookie Jaylin Lane is giving offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury no choice but to use him frequently in his rookie year.
Washington Commanders rookie Jaylin Lane is giving offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury no choice but to use him frequently in his rookie year. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Washington Commanders may have just found a diamond in the rough. Advertisement With their fourth-round pick at No. 128 overall, the Commanders chose the electrifying Virginia Tech wide receiver Jaylin Lane, who could turn out to be one of the most impactful rookies from the Draft. Many expect him to be a kick returner before he gets many chances with the offense, but that role is something he is attacking with full force. "I'm just here to dominate my role. That's gonna be part of my game," Lane said via the team website. "Being a rookie coming in, I gotta play special teams regardless. So, I'm excited for that. Just being back there, I feel like I can make any play, any catch and ultimately, take it to the crib. Advertisement "That's what you want to do as a returner. Speed is one of my assets. I plan on using it every chance I get." Even more exciting for the Commanders fans already drooling at the mouth is the reports of Lane's performance at OTAs this week. Washington insider Rick Snider was thoroughly impressed with what Lane showed as a receiver, calling the prospect a "sleeper" to crack the offensive rotation. Lane might not have been brought in because there was a major need for an offensive playmaker, but if he can be another weapon for star quarterback Jayden Daniels, that's a nice bonus. It could turn the Commanders into one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NFL ... if they aren't already after last season's fireworks. Advertisement The rookie Lane's first pro practices may be leaving Kingsbury no choice but to find him touches in that scheme. However, there are now two proven veterans in Daniels' arsenal, too. Joining Terry McLaurin in the receiving corps is Deebo Samuel Sr., acquired this offseason in a trade with the San Francisco 49ers. They each will be great assets for Lane's growth as the rookie can learn from two versatile athletes who have already thrived in high-octane offenses. As McLaurin and Samuel are the focal points of the passing game, Lane could find lanes open up for him, and if he "takes them to the crib", it will lead to more and more targets. Advertisement This creates for a crowded offensive situation, but Lane reiterated that he will fit whatever role he is called into. We believe that will be an impactful one with how Washington is already finding new ways to utilize him in kick returns and in the slot on offense. Says Lane: "I'm just very confident. And I feel like I'm gonna be able to help score some touchdowns for the Commanders."
