#4 North Carolina vs. #5 Miami

Eerily reminiscent of two weeks ago when the Heels blew a four-run 9^th inning lead in game two of their series against Georgia Tech, again today North Carolina (44-13) could not hold a five-run lead falling to Miami (35-20) 7-5.

Miami freshman A.J. Salcines picks up the win in relief for his first career victory and Zeke DeVoss paced the Hurricane attack going 4-for-4 with two walks, three RBIs and three stolen bases. Bryan Radziewski started the contest for UM but was lifted after five innings after giving up five runs and six walk on 93 pitches. Read the rest of this entry »
