No. 5 North Carolina started off the Chapel Hill Super Regional with a bang as the Tar Heels beat Arizona 18-2. Three more supers will start Friday: Miami at Louisville, No. 9 Florida State at No. 8 Oregon State and No. 13 Coastal Carolina at No. 4 Auburn.

Eddie King Jr.'s 2-out double scored Jake Munroe in the seventh inning to put the Cardinals on top. Jake Schweitzer, Justin West and Brennyn Cutts combined for a scoreless final two innings to put Louisville (40-22) among the eight teams going to Omaha.

The Wildcats couldn’t solve North Carolina freshman Ryan Lynch, who had allowed only two hits and three baserunners, and one mistake from their first-year pitcher was looking like it would be the difference.
