LSU baseball meets North Carolina on Monday afternoon for all the marbles at the Chapel Hill Regional in the 2024 NCAA Baseball Tournament.
The No. 2 Tigers (43-22) had to win two games Sunday to force the if-necessary game against the Tar Heels (44-14) at Boshamer Stadium. LSU started the day with a come-from-behind, 13-6 victory over No. 3 Wofford before capping the day with an 8-4 win over host UNC.
Offense led the way for LSU to get to the winner-take-game in Chapel Hill. It belted 32 hits in two elimination games, turning those into 21 runs, more than enough to advance to the final.
For the Tar Heels, the loss to LSU was the first one on the weekend, having defeated No. 4 Long Island and LSU before Sunday night.

LSU 9, North Carolina 8: LSU’s bats have come alive at the right time and against the shorter end of North Carolina’s pitching staff. I expect LSU to score plenty of runs. The Tigers will win a back-and-forth game in which the lead will change a couple of times.

TideIllustrated – Harrison Was Waiting For a North Carolina Offer
Kendre’ Harrison probably has more collegiate options than any other high school player in America.
The exceptional two-sport athlete out of Reidsville is ranked No. 28 in basketball, and No. 17 in football nationally according to Rivals. He has right around three dozen scholarship offers in both sports.
The North Carolina Basketball program became the latest one on Thursday. It’s appropriate that it occurred during a football event on the UNC campus.
The 6-foot-7 power forward now has hoops offers from Florida State, Georgetown, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Penn State, Texas A&M, and Wake Forest.
We spoke with Harrison a couple of weeks back at the EYBL session in Memphis. At that time he told us that he had been on the campus in Chapel Hill 15 times. Barring another trip in between then and now his offer from Hubert Davis came on visit number 16.
When it came to the Tar Heels’ basketball program Harrison told us last month, “They really like me. I don’t think they offer sophomores like me. I’m always on the football side of UNC. I’m always there. When I do get to talk to the basketball coaches they tell me they like me. They like how I play defense, and how I move around for my size. They just want to get me back on campus for the basketball side.”
We spoke again Thursday evening for a brief time after his big offer from Coach Davis.

North Carolina Senate gives initial approval to legalizing medical marijuana

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina got a step closer to legalizing medical marijuana on Thursday when the state Senate gave it its initial approval.
The Senate approved a measure legalizing medical marijuana in its first of two votes, 33-9, with nine Republicans breaking from the rest of the party to oppose it. If approved a second time, the bill will go to the state House, which has historically blocked Senate attempts to legalize the drug’s medical use.
Medical cannabis products are legal in 38 states and the District of Columbia, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. More than 20 states allow the drug to be used recreationally, too.
Legalizing medical marijuana for qualifying patients with a “debilitating medical condition” was added to a bill on Wednesday that originally focused on creating further state regulations for federally legal hemp products. Those hemp products contain a concentration of less than 0.3% of THC concentration, the compound that gives marijuana its high.
Although the hemp regulations remain in the bill, Sen. Danny Britt, a Republican from Robeson County, said on the Senate floor that adding medical marijuana was necessary to “get out in front” of an expected federal reclassification of marijuana from a Schedule I drug to a less dangerous Schedule III drug.
Sen. Bill Rabon, a Republican from Brunswick County who is one of the most vocal proponents of legalizing medical marijuana, said the bill would help sick and dying people in the state. Like in previous sessions, he recounted his own experience smoking pot while undergoing chemotherapy for colon cancer.
“With 18 months to live, I’m here 20 years later because I had a physician who told me to do this, and I did,” Rabon told Senate colleagues.
The bill awaits its second senatorial vote on Monday. Rabon said the chamber might submit additional amendments after reviewing requests from the House.
The House hasn’t clearly indicated if it would pass the bill.
House Speaker Tim Moore said Thursday that he supports legalizing medical marijuana through a Senate measure approved last year, but has said repeatedly that it wouldn’t be considered because not enough House Republicans back the idea.
Moore didn’t know whether combining the legalization with the hemp regulation provisions would persuade additional colleagues. He said he anticipated House Republicans would privately discuss the idea next week.

Vape Registry Rule Slipped Into North Carolina Bill
![Vape Registry Rule Slipped Into North Carolina Bill](https://files.tobaccoreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Credit-J-Zehnder-850x560.jpeg?x70034)
![](https://files.tobaccoreporter.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/Credit-J-Zehnder-300x200.jpeg)
A new bill in North Carolina, if passed, would require the state to certify vaping and other next-generation tobacco products for sale.
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the proposal Wednesday. It was slipped into HB 900, which deals with Wake County leadership academies and their ability to maintain state designations. The House passed it without objection.
To become law, the bill would need to pass the Senate and then the House before the end of the session. Senate leaders have said they plan to complete their work by the end of the month, local media reports.
The chambers, both controlled by Republicans, have been unable to come to an agreement on budget modifications for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
A North Carolina lawmaker wrongly told other lawmakers during debate that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates the products, but the regulatory agency does not have the ability to check which products are being sold.
The bill would fine retailers who sell products that aren’t on the registry for initial violations. The legislation could also suspend or revoke the establishment’s license.
Vaping industry representatives warned lawmakers that the bill will cost people jobs and money.
PMTA registry laws are already being enforced in Alabama, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Wisconsin passed a registry law in December and will become effective July 1, 2025.
Utah also passed a registry bill that included a flavor ban that will become active on Jan. 1, 2025, and Florida has a unique registry that also begins Jan. 1, 2025.
