Game 3 of the 2006 College World Series championship series between North Carolina and Oregon State went to the bottom of the eighth tied at 2. The Beavers put two runners on with two outs against Daniel Bard in the eighth, prompting Tar Heels coach Mike Fox to go to the bullpen for Baseball America’s 2006 college player of the year. That player got Ryan Gipson to hit a one-hopper to second baseman Bryan Steed that looked like it would end the inning, but Steed made a throwing error, allowing Bill Rowe to score the CWS-winning run in the Beavers’ 3-2 victory. Name the UNC pitcher who came on in relief of Bard.
Andrew Miller
