Freshman left-hander Jackson Rose will get the start for North Carolina in Game 3 of the College World Series championship Monday night in Omaha, Nebraska.
The Tar Heels announced Monday afternoon that Rose will take the mound in the winner-take-all finale, with first pitch set for shortly after 7 p.m. ET.
Rose last appeared five days earlier in UNC’s second consecutive victory over West Virginia, a win that sent the Tar Heels into the championship series. He went 4 1/3 innings, giving up two hits and striking out two.
The freshman is set for his seventh start of the season. He comes into Monday at 5-0 with a 2.15 ERA over 50 1/3 innings.
Rose has been sharp in the postseason, working 12 scoreless innings while allowing only three hits and recording 11 strikeouts.
It remains unclear who UNC coach Scott Forbes will use behind Rose but he said everyone on the stf is “available as long as they feel good.”
“If somebody doesn’t feel good, they’re going to be honest with me,” Forbes said after UNC’s Game 2 win on Sunday. “It’s just a matter of who we decide as a coaching staff to start. I’m not sure who that’s going to be.”
“It will be all hands on deck. I trust our pitchers.”
