Here are three things UNC baseball has to do to beat Duke | News & Observer

Here's a look at what Duke needs to do to beat UNC.

Before No. 4 North Carolina lost to No. 25 Coastal Carolina 5-2 on Wednesday, it was playing some of the best baseball in the country.

The Tar Heels had won nine consecutive games. And among its wins was a three-game sweep of N.C. State in Raleigh last month, a feat that a Mike Fox-led team had never done before.

The Tar Heels have another important series starting Friday. UNC (33-14, 18-6 ACC) will play No. 13 Duke (36-11, 15-8 ACC), winners of six consecutive games, at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
