Who started that chant? This guy. lol.
Yes, I'm still proud of that insignificant event.
I was there for a good few games there. Isn't that when Elon was in our regional as well and we had a huge comeback?
No this was a regular season game that we lost 4-2. I haven't been able to attend any of the Regionals in the years where we went to Chapel Hill/Cary. Only Raleigh and Greenville. That will change this year, as I'll be there on Saturday and Sunday.
The Regional you're talking about was 2008 in Cary, when we reached the Regional Final against UNC. We'd beaten Elon 5-2 then lost to UNC 5-1, facing Elon again in an elimination game. Elon had an 11-4 lead in the top of the 9th inning, and we put up 11 runs to win 15-11. This was that inning's play-by-play:

line, 2 RBI (0-0); Carver scored; Appel scored. Girdwood to p for Kernodle.
Leeper singled up the middle, RBI (3-1); Hall, N. scored. Miller, R. walked

Hargrave singled through the left side, RBI, advanced to second on the throw

popped up to ss (2-2). Hargrave scored on a wild pitch. Carver struck out
swinging (3-2). 11 runs, 9 hits, 0 errors, 0 LOB.
Simply amazing. We had 1 on with 1 out. Then 8 hits and 2 walks later and 11 runs were in. There weren't even any errors. Just pure offense that got us the W and advanced us to the Regional Final.
