CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The North Carolina Tar Heels clinched a bid to the ACC Softball Tournament with a 9-5 win over the Lousiville Cardinals on Sunday morning, before dropping the second game 7-3 splitting the weekend series at Anderson Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
In game one of the twin bill, the Heels took control starting in the third inning, and continued to score through the end of the game. Louisville did not go down easily, scoring four in the top of the fifth to tie the game, but Carolina answered the bell, scoring in the fifth and sixth innings to seal the victory, and clinch a spot in the ACC Tournament next week in Louisville, KY.
