UCLA-UNC moved to Orlando

[JohnGwaltney]

FROM UNC:

CHAPEL HILL --- With winter weather preventing baseball from being played in Chapel Hill, No. 6 North Carolina and No. 4 UCLA will meet at UCF's Jay Bergman Field in Orlando for a three-game series beginning Friday at 2 p.m. The series will continue Saturday at 1 p.m. with the finale set for 11 a.m. Sunday.

This marks the second straight year in which winter weather has led to a significant schedule change. Last season, snow forced Carolina to reschedule its season-opening series against the College of Charleston. Instead of a Friday opener in Chapel Hill, UNC and CofC met Saturday, Sunday and Monday in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

Carolina's next home game is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 3 p.m. against St. John's.

Wow that was random

With UCLA flying cross-country they may have moved it down there to insure the games would have a good chance of being played. It's disappointing that they won't be played in Chapel Hill.

They considered playing the series at UCLA, but UNC didn't have the funds. The team is actually traveling to Orlando on buses.
