SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Johnny Castagnozzi hit a game-winning, grand slam in the ninth inning and No. 13 rallied for a 10-8 win over Notre Dame Friday in the opening game of a three-game ACC series at Frank Eck Stadium.
UNC (19-7, 5-3 ACC), which was 0-7 when trailing after eight innings this season, entered the ninth down by four runs, 8-4.
"I talked to our position players today and told them that until we can find a closer, they need to be the closer," UNC head coach Scott Forbes said.
