North Carolina keeps winning and moving up the ACC baseball standings.
N.C. State, after a dream start, suddenly finds itself with ground to make up after losing three games to the Tar Heels.
UNC got another productive game from Ike Freeman to take out N.C. State 5-4 on Sunday and sweep the Wolfpack in a matchup of top-15 teams.
Freeman drove in three runs for the Tar Heels (31-13, 18-6 ACC), who won their first series in Raleigh since 2007 and swept the Wolfpack (31-11, 15-9) in Raleigh for the first time. UNC, ranked No. 4 in the RPI, won Friday’s game 6-5 and came back Saturday with an 8-6 win.
