Nevermind the nine-run cushion his team gave him. North Carolina sophomore pitcher Gianluca Dalatri, who pitched in his second game since returning from an elbow injury that sidelined him for 12 weeks, didn't need it.
Dalatri pitched five shutout innings against Georgia Tech on Friday. The bullpen finished the job for the remainder four innings, and UNC won 9-0 at Durham Bulls Athletic Park in the ACC Baseball Championship.
The win won't affect whether UNC advances in the tournament. Pitt will emerge from UNC's pool to the semifinals after finishing 2-0 in pool play, including a 5-4 win against the Tar Heels (38-18) on Wednesday.
