Tar Heels' Jay Cox went deep twice and made a great game saving catch in the ninth inning to help North Carolina win Bracket 1 and move on to the best-of-three College World Series final with a 6-5 victory over Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday night. Cox and Tim Federowicz hit back-to-back homers in the fifth (the first consecutive homers in the CWS since Missouri State's Greg Mathis and Jacob Hilgendorf did it in 2003) to give the Tar Heels a 6-3 lead.

Carolina led by a run in the ninth when Cox robbed David Cooper of extra bases, catching a long drive while crashing into the wall in left field to preserve the lead and win. The Tar Heels (53-13) will play Oregon State or Rice in the championship series that begins Saturday.

The Beavers forced another game against the Owls, with the winner of Thursday night's matchup advancing to the championship series.

Daniel Turpen (3-0) gave the Beavers their third straight impressive start when facing elimination. The sophomore right-hander scattered just five hits over a career-high 6 2-3 innings.



Turpen, who made only 11 previous appearances, started for the first time in nearly two months and combined with Joe Paterson on a five-hitter in a 5-0 victory over Rice. The shut out was just the second one for Rice all season.

The elimination game is tonight on ESPN2 at 8:00 pm EST. Rice (57-12) enters the contest being the heavy favorite at -200 over Oregon State (47-15).
