Bottom of the 1st:

ND has runners(walks) at 1st and 2nd, no outs. SB moves the runners to 2nd and 3rd. 1 out. RBI single.ND leads 1-0, runners at the corners, 1 out.

I need to get paid big bucks for listening to these ND announcers.

Raburn batting for UNC. GO TAR HEELS!!!

Raburn hits a SF to CF, ND leads 3-1. 2 outs. Dudek on 1st base.Ground out to end the Tar Heel threat.

Hi, DF. Hope you're doing well. I've been out of pocket today but it sounds like I missed a heartbreaker in the first game. Won't be able to watch much of this one either.

How about those golden ND batting helmets? Those sure are...um...something.

Hi RH.I won't last the full game either.Hope you are doing well.

UNC goes down in very quick order. Bottom of the 5th. ND leads 3-1. I hate those ND helmets as well.

 

[DF1972]

ND has runners at 1st and 2nd. UNC pitchers cannot find the strike zone. Bases loaded after another 4 pitch walk.Another UNC pitching change.

Time out for me. Go Tar Heels!

 

[Raising Heel]

UNC gets out of another bases-loaded pickle, then dodges another bullet in the bottom of the 6th by stranding runners on the corners.

Could be a lot worse. Need some run support here. Heels trail 3-1 T7.

 

[Raising Heel]

UNC still trails 3-1 in the top of the 9th. With 1 out, the Heels get a chopper though the middle of the infield to put a runner on, tying run at the plate.

 

[Raising Heel]

UNC narrowly avoids a double play ball and the Heels are down to their final out to avoid ND taking the series.

 

[DF1972]

ND wins 3-1.

The Tar heels need a win tomorrow. Go Heels!

 

[Raising Heel]

Nothing doing and UNC loses 3-1.

 

[DF1972]

RH, tough day for the Tar Heels. I hope you enjoy your evening!

BOX SCORE

NOTRE DAME, Ind. --- Notre Dame completed a doubleheader sweep with a 3-1 victory over No. 20 North Carolina Saturday evening at Frank Eck Stadium. The Irish scored twice in the first against UNC starter J.B. Bukauskas and got six shutout innings of relief from Ryan Smoyer to secure the series win. Carolina fell to 31-18 and 13-12 in the ACC, while the hosts improved to 32-18 and 14-12 in league play. The Tar Heels will try to avoid a sweep in Sunday's series finale at 1 p.m.

Bukauskas (4-2) issued two of his five walks on the day in the first and both Cavan Biggio and Kyle Biala scored in the inning. Fiala tripled to lead off the third and scored on a Ryan Bull RBI groundout, and that was enough offense for Smoyer and Notre Dame starter Brandon Bielak.

Carolina scored its lone run of the day in the fourth. Brian Miller led off the inning with a double inside the bag at third and scored on Alex Raburn's sac fly liner to center. The Tar Heels would get just two hits the rest of the way against Smoyer, who was not overpowering but kept UNC off the bases in four of six innings.

Hansen Butler, Spencer Trayner and Zach Rice combined to keep the Irish off the scoreboard over the final five innings, allowing just three hits as a group.

UNC will send Benton Moss to the mound in Sunday series finale against Notre Dame's Nick McCarty. That game, which is set for a 1 p.m. start, will be broadcast live on ESPN3.
