In the opening game of the Chapel Hill Regional, the national 10th seed North Carolina Tar Heels defeated the Hofstra Pride 15-4 to advance to the winner’s bracket on Saturday.
With the victory, Carolina faces tonight’s winner of the Georgia-VCU game tomorrow night at 7:00 PM.
Hofstra started the scoring with a Kevin Bruggeman solo shot in the top of the first. UNC answered in kind with a Mac Horvath homer in the bottom half of the inning.
Again the second, Santino Rosso of the Pride tallied a home run, and the Tar Heels responded with Tomas Frick’s second home run of the season.
