A Historic Offensive Night
Rom Kellis V starred with two homers, marking his first career multi‑home run game, while Jake Schaffner contributed four hits, including a triple and a double, driving in crucial runs.
The Tar Heels will now meet Georgia Tech in the title game, a rematch that promises another high‑stakes showdown.
On the mound, Walker McDuffie earned the win, improving to 7‑2, while relievers Matthew Mattijs and Cameron Padgett combined for 2.1 innings of one‑run ball, preserving the lead.
What made the night even more remarkable was the collective nature of the hitting — every Tar Heel who stepped into the batter’s box recorded a hit, eight players scored, and six drove in runs.
Kellis added that he has now hit three home runs in his last two starts, underscoring his hot streak heading into the championship.
