North Carolina clinched the ACC Coastal Division baseball title about 1 a.m. Friday, when the final out was recorded in Duke’s loss at Georgia Tech.
Twelve hours later, the Tar Heels were back on the field at Boshamer Stadium with another goal in mind: being the top overall seed in the 2018 ACC Championship next week in Durham.
UNC dispatched Virginia Tech for the second straight day, winning 11-2. With a 21-8 ACC record, the Tar Heels then turned their attention to Clemson’s game at Pittsburgh, where the Tigers sought to match UNC’s ACC record.
A Clemson victory would give the Tigers the Atlantic Division title over N.
