Chapel Hill -- After a 5 hour 10 minute rain delay, the Tar Heels walked-off as winners courtesy of a Dylan Harris 10th inning solo home run. Gianluca Dalatri turned in his best start of the past two seasons, going 7.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R (1 ER), 9 K and 1 BB to pace the Tar Heels and keep the game in reach before Ike Freeman and Harris hit late game home runs to give the Heels the win in the opening game of the series.
The 3-2 win gave Carolina its 23rd consecutive win at Boshamer Stadium.
