The ACC Nation Morning Edition

Chad Flack should be carried through the streets of Chapel Hill. The North Carolina sophomore hit not one, but two go-ahead homers to put the Tar Heels in the College World Series. Flack hit one homer in the eighth to put Carolina up 5-4 and then, with the Heels trailing Alabama again in the bottom of the ninth, Flack hit a dramatic two-out shot for the win.

Clemson also had to rally, the second time the Tigers had to do so in two nights, but the tournament's overall No. 1 seed is headed to Omaha as well after sweeping Oral Roberts.

Meanwhile, Georgia Tech didn't have to worry about late-inning heroics as the Jackets buried the College of Charleston to make it three ACC teams in the CWS.

The conference could have as many as four team in Omaha, but Miami would have some work to do to make that happen. The Hurricanes were on their way to a win over Mississippi, but let a six-run lead get away and fell behind one game to none in the best-of-three series.

In Sacramento, Calif., Florida State captured the men's track and field title Saturday. Garrett Johnson won the shot put championship to help the Seminoles in their quest. A pair of Tar Heels also won individual championships Saturday.
