Inside Carolina host Tommy Ashley joins 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell on Thursday, June 6 to discuss the Carolina Baseball program’s upcoming super regional. The Tar Heels defeated the reigning national champion LSU Tigers twice to reach this point — but, as Ashley discusses, the success of this team is impressive compared to the preseason expectations and questions around the roster. He details where the regional weekend fits within his own experiences covering games at Boshamer Stadium and how the team’s performance is a credit to its coaching staff. Plus: Ashley shares highlights from Thursday’s media availability and where he believes Carolina Baseball needs to improve this weekend in order to earn a spot in the College World Series.

On Air, Today features conversations with the latest newsmakers in our community, including local elected leaders, educators, business owners, and anyone else with their finger on the pulse of the greater Chapel Hill community.
