The Diamond Heels faced a good challenge from Holy Cross on Friday, not scoring until the fourth inning. North Carolina’s pitching, like it has all year, carried it to victory.
The Sooners are a good team, so Saturday will be a tough test for the Tar Heels. They will face off against Sooners’ ace Kyson Thompson, a right-handed pitcher who is considered a top 10 prospect for the upcoming MLB Draft. He has swing and miss stuff and will be a challenge for UNC hitters.
Score predictions: Oklahoma 6, UNC 3
