CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – No. 13 North Carolina opened the day by winning their suspended game against Miami, 9-8, in 11 innings at Boshamer Stadium on Saturday.

Hunter Stokely hit a walk-off, two-out home run, sending the 1-0 pitch 389 feet over the left wall to complete the program's largest comeback since the 2007 Super Regional against South Carolina.

"I've never had emotions like that in baseball before; I've never had a walk-off hit before," Stokely said. "I kind of blacked out when I touched second base."

Casey Cook pushed the game to the 11th with a two-out, game-tying home run in the 10th off All-America closer Andrew Walters on a 3-2 count.
