UVA took the lead in the top of the first, fell behind, then retook the lead in the top of the fourth, but Carolina scored in each of the first five innings, pulling back in front in the bottom of the fifth to complete the victory in Sunday’s rubber match. With the win, the Tar Heels improve to 29-9 (9-3 ACC), while UVA slips to 12-24 (3-12 ACC).
