closeThe stakes have been set.
Gov. Mike Easley has bet Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski that the North Carolina baseball team will beat Oregon State in this weekend's College World Series final.
Should Carolina wins, Kulongoski will send Easley a basket of Oregon-made products, including Pacific seafood, local cheeses, craft beer and hazelnuts.

If Carolina loses, Easley will send a pound of barbecue, a bottle of barbecue sauce and a pint of slaw from both Wilber's Barbecue in Goldsboro and the Barbecue Center Inc. of Lexington. Easley will also send a case of Cheerwine.
Oregon State beat UNC last year in the final game of the CWS, played in Omaha, Neb.
"A beaver cannot get past a fox, certainly not twice," Easley said in a statement. "I am confident UNC coach Mike Fox and his team will make sure the Tar Heels bring the national championship to North Carolina."
