DURHAM – No. 3 North Carolina took down No. 9 Duke, 8-6, on Sunday afternoon to maintain a game and a half lead in the ACC Coastal Division over the Blue Devils. Tyler Baum picked up his fourth win of the season as Ike Freeman and Brandon Riley combined for five hits and drove in four RBI to lead the Tar Heels offensively.
As they did in the first two games of the series, Duke got on the board first. This time it was courtesy of a Griffin Conine solo home run in the second inning for the 1-0 advantage.
