Chapel Hill -- Tyler Baum pitched a gem to lead the Tar Heels to a series opening win over Duke, 1-0, on beautiful Friday night at Boshamer Stadium. Baum tossed a career high 8.2 scoreless innings, surrendering only two hits, while striking out six and walking just two to give him his fourth win of the season.
The game was scoreless until the bottom of the seventh, when a Dylan Harris sac fly plated Dylan Enwiller for the first and only run of the game.
That lone run proved to be all Baum needed, as he just kept on rolling, still reaching the mid-90s on the radar gun even after his 100th pitch of the game.
