North Carolina
- Aidan Haugh
Scott Forbes previewed that his Tar Heels will likely start with Aidan Haugh.
“It’s a really good offensive lineup we’ll take it pitch by pitch,” Forbes said. “If we beat Florida State then hopefully we’ll have enough guys to compete against Tennessee again. We’ll start Aidan Haugh most likely.”
Florida State
- Conner Whitaker
Seminoles coach Link Jarrett hasn't revealed who he will play in the upcoming game against North Carolina. However, most reports have Whitaker as the starting pitcher as Florida State battles to remain alive in the College World Series. Whitaker has a 5-0 record and an ERA of 4.94.
