May 27, 2024 | Baseball
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – With a resume that includes the ACC's best record (42-13), 40 regular-season victories, and a top-five RPI ranking, North Carolina was tabbed as the No. 4 national seed for the 2024 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship on Monday, ensuring the opportunity to host an NCAA Super Regional at Boshamer Stadium should the Tar Heels win the Chapel Hill Regional.
It is the ninth time UNC has been a top-eight seed and the first since 2018.
As the top seed in the Chapel Hill Regional, North Carolina will be joined by second-seeded LSU (40-21), third-seeded Wofford (41-18), and fourth-seeded Long Island (33-23) from May 31 to June 3 at Boshamer Stadium. UNC is hosting for the 13th time overall and fifth time in the last seven seasons.
The Tar Heels will begin their 36th NCAA Tournament against Long Island on Friday. The game will be streamed live on ESPN+.
Monday's selection marks Carolina's seventh consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, the longest active streak in the ACC. The Tar Heels have punched their ticket to the postseason in each of head coach Scott Forbes' four seasons.
The Tar Heels are 33-8 all-time in home regional games and have advanced to the Super Regional nine times from the Chapel Hill Regional since the current format was implemented in 1999.
