Diamond Heels Strive To Be Super - Inside The Lines

Inside Carolina’s Grace Nugent and Tommy Ashley are joined by Just Baseball’s Monty Taylor to talk all things Chapel Hill Super Regional as Carolina hosts Southern California this weekend in Boshamer Stadium.

The trio discusses the Diamond Heel roster construction and the success Scott Forbes and his coaching staff have had over the years of replenishing the talent pool in the program despite turning out professional prospects year after year. The group also discusses the chemistry factor of a college baseball roster and the culture aspect of success.

With the Trojans on the horizon, the panel previews the strengths of the USC lineup and rotation, and keys for North Carolina’s success starting on Friday. First pitch is 3 p.m.
