What channel is UNC-Holy Cross on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Regional Opener
What channel is UNC-Holy Cross on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Regional Opener Here's all the broadcasting information you need to know for the UNC baseball team's NCAA Tournament opener against Holy Cross. The UNC baseball team is just moments away from kicking off its NCAA Tournament run, which begins Friday, May 30 against Holy Cross at 12 p.m. in the Chapel Hill Regional. North Carolina (42-12, 18-11), which finished third in a loaded ACC during the regular season, captured its ninth ACC Tournament Championship with a 14-4 drubbing of Clemson. The Diamond Heels enacted revenge on Florida State during the ACC Semis, winning 7-5 thanks to two ninth-inning runs, but not before taking care of Boston College during a 7-2 win. Holy Cross (31-25, 17-8) beat Army West Point twice, 12-1 and 8-7, to capture the Patriot League Championship. The Crusaders won't be a pushover, despite playing in a smaller conference – and will look to play spoiler in Chapel Hill. UNC, which should win today's game comfortably, has all the tools to make a deep run. North Carolina sports arguably the best pitching staff across college baseball, led by ACC Pitcher of the Year Jake Knapp, plus a starting lineup that generates the perfect combination of speed and power. The 2024 Diamond Heels composed an uber-talented squad, led by Vance Honeycutt, but nearly lost in their Chapel Hill Regional opener. Third baseman Gavin Gallaher played hero in against LIU in that nightcap, blasting a walk-off grand slam and keeping UNC in the winner's bracket. Heading to Boshamer Stadium today?

Holy Cross did beat the likes of fellow NCAA Tournament teams Auburn and Binghamton, but don't have UNC's resume. North Carolina will run into some early hiccups, as I see most tournament favorites try to do too much early on, but settle down by the third inning and win comfortably.

Spencer Jones reaches three times, Ben Hess pitches in Yankees' Spring Breakout loss to Orioles
The Yankees were defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-4 in their Spring Breakout Game on Saturday night. - Carlos Lagrange took the mound for the Baby Bombers. The 21-year-old was terrific as he showed off his 70-grade fastball, touching 100 mph consistently from the get-go. After allowing a leadoff single, he retired the next 11 hitters in a row before Vance Honeycutt beat him to left-center for an inside-the-park homer. Lagrange finished with a final line of two runs (one earned) on two hits, one walk, and two strikeouts across 4.0 innings. - Spencer Jones almost made a nice running grab ranging over to left-center on the inside-the-parker, but he wasn't able reel it in. The slugger reached base three times but his only serious damage came in the top of the seventh as he was gifted a double after the left fielder lost it in the lights. - George Lombard Jr. was quiet at the plate over his first three at-bats, but then he reached in his next two with a walk and a single. The 19-year-old first-round pick was really impressive this spring -- demolishing a pair of homers, including a 414-foot blast that left the bat at a whopping 108.4 mph. - Jesus Rodriguez drove in two of New York's four runs with a run scoring groundout and an RBI single. - Ben Hess, the Yankees' first-round pick from last year, made his unofficial pro debut. He cruised through a perfect first inning of work but then allowed a run to score on Dylan Beavers' RBI single in the bottom of the sixth. The 22-year-old struck out 106 batters in 68 innings last year at Alabama. - Alexander Vargas made a terrific over-the-shoulder running grab on a pop up in shallow right in the ninth. The Yankees split up to play a pair of 1:05 p.m. games on Sunday, staying in Port Charlotte to face the Rays and in Tampa against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

UNC baseball star catcher called a top prospect for 2025 MLB Draft by Baseball America
UNC baseball star catcher called a top prospect for 2025 MLB Draft by Baseball America The North Carolina Tar Heels might carry a significantly younger team into the 2025 college baseball season, but they'll still be a tough out in a loaded ACC. Vance Honeycutt, whose 2024 heroics alone should earn him a statue outside Boshamer Stadium, is now playing in the Baltimore Orioles' organization. Dalton Pence, arguably UNC's best bullpen arm since closer Josh Hiatt, is part of the Texas Rangers' farm system. There's one young returning star, though, who Diamond Heels fans should be extremely excited about. That returning star is sophomore catcher Luke Stevenson, who gained a bunch of MLB Draft attention in the offseason. Not only is Stevenson one of the top catchers in college baseball, but Baseball America's Carlos Collazo called him the best catcher prospect in the 2025 MLB Draft. 'Right now, it feels like he's a consensus, first-round player," Collazo said. "A lot of people think he's the best college catcher in the (2025 MLB Draft) class. And he almost aligns with how the draft class is. He's very well-rounded, there's maybe not a single sexy tool that he has, but he does everything at a very high level. He hits, he hits for power, he defends, he has maybe plus defense is his kind of carrying tool because he's a great defender behind the plate. He's a guy, if he has a strong season, I could see him shooting up inside the Top 10, going very high in this draft.' Stevenson was just one piece of North Carolina's loaded offensive lineup in 2024, hitting .284 with 14 home runs and 58 RBIs. Stevenson also showcased why he's a strong defensive catcher, as he led UNC with 511 put-outs and only committed two errors. Can Stevenson make an even larger leap in 2025, leading the Diamond Heels back to the College World Series and, possibly their first title in program history?
