Bring On The Heels

The 27-16 Ivy League championship Dartmouth baseball learned its travel plans today and will play at 42-16 North Carolina Friday in the NCAA Regionals. Also in the grouping are Coastal Carolina (46-14) and Kansas (37-22). The format is double-elimination, with the surviving team advancing to the super regionals. Find a Dartmouth release here.

Dartmouth last appeared in the NCAA's in 1987 when Mike Remlinger spun a four-hitter and fanned 13 while dealing 51-11 Michigan a 4-0 loss in the opening game at Georgia Tech. (Michigan had gone 61 games since its last shutout.)

In addition to Remlinger, future big leaguers in Atlanta that year included Pete Harnisch, Jim Abbott and Derek Lilliquist.

With a certain future blogger looking on, Tom DeMerit slammed a three-run homer to give Rem all the run support he would need.
