A&T falls hard in NCAA baseball opener, looks ahead to tomorrow

GREENSBORO, North Carolina — The program waited 13 years to get back into the NCAA baseball tournament.

And so N.C. A&T’s postgame team meeting under a searing sun was not a happy place Friday afternoon.

Michael Busch went 2-for-3 with a long home run and five RBIs, and top-seeded host North Carolina shut out fourth-seeded A&T 11-0 in the first game of the Chapel Hill Regional at Boshamer Stadium.

The Aggies (32-24) drop into the loser’s bracket and play an elimination game at 1 p.m. Saturday against the loser of tonight's game between Houston and Purdue.

“They’re as frustrated as I am,” A&T coach Ben Hall said. “That wasn’t a good (postgame) huddle right there. Because that’s not the team I’ve seen over the last couple of weeks.”
