NEW EXTRA POINTS: Now that the massive and historic House settlement is finally officially approved? What changed? uh, not that much, really. The big questions haven't been solved yet.

Tar Heels just keep hitting. Sam Angelo with a 2-run HR in the 2nd to give UNC a 2-1 lead vs. Arizona. A win sends UNC back to the College World Series.

The roster limits/additional scholarships part of House is dramatic change. Costs going up even as roster spots shrink. Discussed implications for UNC/NC State here: wral.com/sports/house-s…

An example on roster limits: UNC baseball roster lists 45 players. Baseball is limited to 11.7 scholarships right now. So those 11.7 are divided among the 45 in some fashion. New roster limit: 34. But all can be on full scholarship. wral.com/sports/house-s…

Arizona had 10 hits in Game 1, but sequencing was all wrong and the Wildcats scored 2 runs. Arizona has 13 hits through 6 innings in Game 2 and, with better sequencing and two-out heroics, has 6 runs.

UNC 0-for-6 (two BB) with 2 outs has a big one here. Runners on 2nd and 3rd for Tyson Bass. Arizona is 6-12 (two BB) with 2 outs and has scored four runs with 2 outs. (h/t Rodd Baxley)

UNC led 8-6, but Arizona strikes back with two in the bottom of the seventh. Just tied it up on a wild pitch by Walker McDuffie.

After UNC gets four runs in the top of the 7th to take the lead, Arizona gets four in the bottom of the 7th to regain the lead. Arizona 10, UNC 8.

Arizona beats UNC 10-8 to force a winner-take-all Game 3 on Sunday in Chapel Hill. Winner to the CWS. First pitch is scheduled for noon.
