Carolina baseball has been maddeningly inconsistent this season, as they have piled up head-scratching losses and found ways to win weird games. Lose 2 of 3 to ECU, sweep Liberty. Lose midweek games to UNC-W, St. Johns, and Gardner-Webb, take Louisville to the wire in two games before breaking through with a 10-3 blowout to hand the Cardinals their first loss.
The Heels entered their first ACC series at the Bosh at a paltry 9-8 (1-2), but had everything click against the Pitt Panthers.
Game 1: Carolina 15, Pitt 3
This game rode a few prevalent themes from the early season: strong start by Tyler Baum, explode for a crooked number in the middle innings to put it away.
