This should be a good matchup between two teams who are close to each other record wise within the division.

Need 2 quality starts by Max and Bovair to start the series off… Miami is a good ball club

Need to take the next 2 now…. Didn’t see much but not sure about the decision to pull Max after only 73 pitches…

Hate to lose, but you have to appreciate that call by Miami. Pure baseball that you can only see in college.

 

[kjcooper]

Was watching the game and that suicide squeeze by Miami was a brilliant call, to take the lead. Wish they would have been better prepared for that play, which I figure they were going to try it with only one out in the inning. Need to regroup today, and try to win two in a row to get the series.

Now that's the way to get out of a jam and potentially save the series.

 

[WoadBlue]

You get 2 on in the 9th, you got to score at last 1.

 

[WoadBlue]

Well crap: 1st pitch Top of 10th knocked out.

 

[WoadBlue]

We either get 1 in the bottom of the 10th or we lose the series. Get 2 and we win Game 2.

 

[WoadBlue]

Down to just 1 strike to stay in the game, Casey Cook knocks a 96 mph fastball out of right-center.

Going to the 11th.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

Huge at bat for Cook to save Carolina and force an 11th inning.

 

[JohnGwaltney]

CAROLINA WINS with a Hunter Stokely blast for the walkoff!

Final: UNC 9, Miami 8

 

[WoadBlue]

Bottom of 11th, still tied. Stokely drills one over the fence to win the game.

Baseball is so competitive that a .600 winning percentage is usually good enough to get you to the playoffs in the big leagues. Heels seem to have massive offensive potential but no star studded starters?

 

[kjcooper]

Does it appears they are trending about the same this year as they did last year before winning the ACC tournament?

 

[ohio tarheels]

They need to try and get everyone firing on all cylinders at the same time and they could become a pretty good ball club… I still believe we have a pretty good 1-2 starting combo but will need some others to step up more consistently
