Carolina Baseball Extends 40‑Win Streak
The Tar Heels completed a sweep of Pitt with a 7‑3 victory on Sunday, marking their third straight season with at least 40 wins. The win underscores the program’s consistency and places them among the nation’s most successful college programs.
Colin Hynek was a catalyst, driving in three runs with timely hits, while Folger Boaz delivered a strong outing, striking out eight batters over 4.1 innings. Caden Glauber added a flawless 3.1‑frame stretch, and Jackson Rose recorded his first career save.
The offense struck early, as Gavin Gallaher’s double set the tone and Macon Winslow followed with a two‑RBI single. Pitt managed to tie the game in the second and fourth innings, but Carolina pulled ahead and never looked back.
Relief pitcher Erik Paulsen sealed the win with a run‑producing single in the later innings, capping a balanced attack that left the opposition scrambling.
The Tar Heels now turn their attention to a road stretch that begins Tuesday night in Wilmington, where they will open a series against UNCW with first pitch scheduled for 6 p.m.
