The West Virginia Mountaineers saw a historic season come to a close on Wednesday as they lost to the North Carolina Tar Heels in the College World Series semifinals.
It was a bittersweet moment for both the Mountaineers as well as their fan base – while fans were able to acknowledge how incredible the 2026 campaign was, it also always stings to see your season come to an end, and perhaps a bit more when you're so close to the ultimate prize. And while West Virginia fans were mourning the end of the season, UNC took the chance to rub salt in the wound of the Mountaineers.

The official UNC Tar Heels account on X, formerly known as Twitter, wasted no time after their baseball team eliminated the Mountaineers to start trolling their rival over the loss. After tweeting a graphic with the final score of the game, they issued a follow-up response to their own post with the words "Country Roads, take em' home" with a smiling emoji.
Country Roads, take 'em home 😌

While it's no fun to be on the other end of one of these tweets, it doesn't take away from the incredible season that the Mountaineers had. They brought thrills and joy to an entire state, and re-wrote the program's history books to help lay a foundation for what will hopefully be one of college baseball's next powerhouse programs, and as head coach Steve Sabins put it on Wednesday, it was a "miraculous" season.
