North Carolina’s baseball squad turned a early hole into a decisive victory, downing Virginia Tech 10‑4 in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals on Wednesday night.
A rally for the ages
The Tar Heels, seeded second, leaned on timely hitting from Jake Schaffner and Owen Hull, whose clutch RBIs sparked a comeback that saw eight of their ten runs scored with two outs.
Macon Winslow added a two‑run homer in the eighth, while Gavin Gallaher contributed an RBI single, underscoring a collective offensive surge.
What’s next for the Tar Heels
Freshman reliever Caden Glauber steadied the game with five‑plus innings of solid work, earning the win and preserving the lead.
With the triumph, UNC now faces either Pitt or Florida State in the semifinals scheduled for Saturday, May 23, a matchup that could rewrite the program’s recent history.
The Tar Heels are chasing their tenth ACC tournament title and, if successful, would become the first team since the early 1980s to capture back‑to‑back championships.
A win would also extend their all‑time ACC tournament record to a remarkable 95‑73, a testament to the program’s sustained excellence.
