OMAHA, Neb. -- Gavin Gallaher's two-run triple gave North Carolina the lead in the seventh inning to help send the Tar Heels to a 5-2 win over West Virginia in the College World Series on Sunday night.
The Tar Heels (52-12-1) opened a CWS with two straight wins for the first time in eight appearances since 2006 and need one more victory to reach the best-of-three finals next weekend. They're off until Wednesday, when they'll meet the winner of a Tuesday elimination game between the Mountaineers (46-16) and Troy.
The Tar Heels scored three unearned runs against Big 12 pitcher of the year Maxx Yeh.
