A Pitcher's Peak
Heath Andrews delivered a career‑high ten strikeouts, but the Wolfpack could not hold onto the early advantage.
North Carolina jumped to a 6‑0 lead after five innings, capitalizing on a pair of home runs in the fifth that Andrews surrendered.
Sixth‑Inning Surge
The Wolfpack answered with four runs in the sixth, narrowing the gap and sparking hope among the fans.
Freshman outfielder Rett Johnson kept his hitting streak alive, extending it to 25 games and raising his average to .404, second in the ACC.
Looking Ahead
Coach Elliot Avent and the coaching staff remain focused on securing an at‑large bid to the NCAA tournament, a goal that has eluded the program for years.
The team will meet North Carolina again on Friday night, hoping to flip the script and finish the series on a high note.
