[JohnGwaltney]

Miami's win over UVA ran over so the game will start around 7:15 pm.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Great start! Ramirez goes deep to put UNC up 1-0 after replay shows it was a homerun.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Following the Ramirez leadoff homer, UNC has two on with Bolt at the plate and no outs.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Tar Heels had something going, but left the bases loaded.

UNC up 1-0 heading to B1

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Three up, three down for UofL

John, hope you are doing well. UNC has struggled in lots of games with those LOBs.

Go Heels!

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Doing well. Hope you are!

Yes, it is a major problem!!!

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Stranded two more for a total of five through two innings!

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Moss with 4 Ks through two

UNC up 1-0 T3

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Yeah, we gotta punch some runners in when we get them on, especially against an elite team like Louisville.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

No doubt about it! Keep getting guys on, but have to get them around!!!

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Don't really agree with us continuing to try to bunt with runners on. Especially with the command issues Leland has been having. But hey, what do I know?

And as I type....BIG HIT by Dunbar!! Nice.

ETA: See? let him hit!

 

[JohnGwaltney]

There you go Dunbar hits one deep to bring in Bolt as the UofL outfielder is unable to make the diving catch.

2-0 UNC

Then a perfect bunt puts men on the corners!

 

[TarHeelNation11]

And I'm just gonna shut up now! Heels lay down a perfect bunt for an infield hit.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Wild pitch and Dunbar scores!! Keep it going! Pour it on this inning and build a big lead

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Heels take 3-0 lead after UofL misplays the pitch

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Dang, pitching change. Should've left him in to work it out

 

[JohnGwaltney]

New pitcher coming in with Heels up 3-0 T3!

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Dang, pitching change. Should've left him in to work it out

He needed more time to work through his issues!

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Another wild pitch advances the runner at second to third base.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Another run gets in to put UNC up 4-0 with one out T3.

UNC runner tagged out at second on a steal attempt. Then UNC flies out to end the T3.

 

[TarHeelNation11]

3 quick outs right there, but we'll certainly take the 3-run inning and 4-run lead!

 

[TarHeelNation11]

That inning has me feeling like:

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Moss is dealing tonight!!!

4-0 UNC through four

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Raburn gets a nice hit down the first base line for a double and advances to third off of a sac fly

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Raburn can't get home as UNC strands another runner

 

[TarHeelNation11]

That homer is tough to swallow, given how well Moss has been pitching.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

UofL smashes a two-run homer to pull within 4-2 B4

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Four runs ain't gonna win this game I have a feeling. Carolina needs to keep the bats hot and continue the opportunistic base running

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Moss gets the throw out at first to end the fourth

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Four runs ain't gonna win this game I have a feeling. Carolina needs to keep the bats hot and continue the opportunistic base running

Agreed

 

[TarHeelNation11]

This new UofL pitcher is dealing. Heels are gonna have to figure this dude out.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Yeah, he is definitely more on target.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

7 LOB, but still up 4-2 heading to the B5

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Excellent work to get the runner at home! Let's go Moss, get out of this inning unscathed!

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Big defensive play to stop a UofL run!

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Another big hit for UofL brings in a run and puts a man on second with two outs.

4-3 UNC B5

 

[TarHeelNation11]

Dang it. Not a fan of when you become obsessed with the base runner on first when there's 2 outs. You see it all the time in the pros. You focus so much on the runner, you forget to bear down on the hitter and you give up a hit.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Yep
