Gallen isses a walk.
Pitt executes the hit-and-run perfectly to put runners on the corners with 1 out, game tied 3-3 here in the bottom of the 4th. Panthers threatening to take the lead here.

Sheesh. Pitt tries the suicide squeeze, but the fastball hits the batter on the hand and the bases are loaded with 1 out.
Gallen with a 2-1 pitch gets lucky as the shot down the RF line is juuuust foul. Next pitch is a ball to load the count. So the payoff pitch coming with the bases loaded....
Pop fly somehow falls in between Warmoth and Bolt. Runner scores, bases still loaded, still one out.
Gallen is still in but there's activity in the UNC bullpen.
Next batter with a sac fly and that pushes the Pitt lead to 5-3 with 2 down B4.

Gallen walks the next batter and the bases are loaded yet again.
His day is finally done. Pitt leads 5-3 with 2 out in the bottom of the 4th, bases loaded.
Trevor Kelley on the hump now for the Heels.
Unbelievable. He balks before even throwing a pitch, and another run scores. 6-3 Pitt, runners on 2nd and 3rd, 2 outs.

The Pitt batter drives one into the gap, and two more runs score. That's 6 runs in this inning and the Panthers now lead 8-3.
Kelley finally gets a ground out to end a brutal, brutal inning for the Heels.

Ramirez walks to start the inning. Still a lot of game left to be played, so you have to hope the Heels can chip away at this lead a little each inning.
Gahagan with a shot to 3rd base, but it's defended nicely to get the out at 1st. Ramirez advances to 2nd.

Warmoth strikes out swinging. Big pitch there by Pitt to get the 2nd out.
Pate up to bat, hits a long ball to the outfield wall, and that will score Ramirez and Bolt. Heels cut into the lead and now trail 8-5 with 2 outs and a runner on 1st.

Pitt with a pitching change, goes to the submariner RHP. Fly ball to RF ends the UNC rally, but the Heels have cut the lead to 8-5 in the middle of the 5th inning.
Kelley allows another hit to the first Pitt batter, a blooper single.
Turns right around and gets a strikeout against Maldonado, the first time the Panthers' right fielder has been retired today.
Next batter hits into a 1-6-3 double play despite Gahagan having to double-clutch the throw to first.
Hopefully Kelley is settling in and the Heels can hold Pitt with good D while continuing to produce at the plate.

Heels get a bunt single from Kennedy and a Lassiter single to put 2 on with 2 out.
An infield mix-up allows a hit between the SS and 3B and a run scores! Heels now trail 8-6 with runners at 1st and 2nd with 2 outs.
THEN A SKYE BOLT 3-RUN HOMER PUTS THE HEELS BACK IN FRONT 9-8!!! Wow!!!
A ground ball turns into the 3rd out, but UNC has stormed back with 6 runs in the last two innings to retake the lead.
Heels up 9-8 M6. Still a lot of ball to be played.

Kelley opens with a strikeout. One away B6.
Has the next batter down 0-2, but the slider gets away from him and hits the batter.
Single to right center puts runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Ugh.
C'mon, Heels!

Ball hit hard to Gahagan. He knocks it down, but can't make the play, and here we go again.
Bases loaded with 1 out, Heels clinging to a 9-8 lead, bottom of the 6th.
Dunbar to the mound to talk with Kelley. Need a big play here.

I spoke too soon. Dunbar is joined at the mound by pitching coach Scott Forbes, and Kelley's day is done.
Heels bring in Trent Thornton. He's been in plenty of tight spots like this before.
Please, please, please get us out of this inning without any runs scored!

BIG strikeout for Thornton for the 2nd out.

A walk loads the bases with 2 outs in a 9-9 game. Man, this is killing me!
Thornton goes up in the count 0-2 against the next batter. Big spot here. Next three pitches are balls. Count goes full and here comes the payoff pitch.
Dunbar to the mound. Not sure I like him breaking Thornton's concentration there. Here we go...
Line drive scores 3 runs and Pitt is back in front 12-9. Dammit, Korey. Why'd you have to go mess with him? Grrr....

Heels get the final out against the next batter, but now they're in another hole with only 2 innings left.
Well, after Sutherland grounds out Lassiter comes up with a double.
Pitching change for the Panthers.
I'm going to have to sign off shortly. Have several errands to run before the basketball game tonight.
Hopefully the Diamond Heels have another rally left in them today. Go Heels!

I didn't watch the game, only listened online, but it was clear Gallen was struggling with his control. Surprised he stayed in as long as he did, but we didn't get much help from our bullpen either. Have to tip your hat to Pitt and their hot bats today.
