I’m a Long Island fan tonight. Hope they’ll go 18 innings.

While anything can happen, I predict Carolina will win big. But here's to hope that Long Island can at least give them a temporary scare and NC has to use a few pitchers...

Sure they can but they're among the worst teams in the tournament

I mean, keeping that right hander out there who primarily only throws fastballs in the low 90s with no movement against this lineup after we already hit 2 bombs in the 8th...

I understand their frustration.

They have a few guys that can hit a little bit, but they have no pitching whatsoever.

On the other hand, you have to wonder if UNC's hitters will struggle with subpar pitching and/or if UNC's pitching falls off the rails. UNC is a pretty well versed team/program, but the defending national champs are in town.

Baseball is going to baseball.

They played in the tournament in 2022. Their scores:

Maryland 23, LIU 2
Wake Forest 10, LIU 4

Their team this year probably isn't as good as that team, and their conference sucks. They are just a notch above the MEAC and SWAC.

They have no pitching. Finished 2nd in their conference. Scrappy Northeastern team, but yeah, I guess anything can happen.

LIU is one of the weakest teams in the field. Comparing them to Coastal Carolina is asinine. They are 14-1 just to win this game. Now anything can happen in baseball but they are expected to roll over.
