CHAPEL HILL – The Carolina Tar Heels hosted Syracuse University in a doubleheader on Saturday to begin the Atlantic Coast Conference season. UNC let a two-run lead slip away in game one, falling 8-2 in extra innings to start the day. However, a strong recovery in the circle by Kendra Lynch led to a 3-1 victory in the nightcap. At the end of the day, Syracuse sits at 9-10 (1-1 ACC), while UNC is now 11-11 (1-1 ACC). The pair will battle for the series victory in the finale on Sunday, with first pitch moved up to Noon due to potential rain in the forecast.
