It was a painful pitching night for No. 19 UNC, with potential repercussions for the Tar Heels’ bullpen. The pitching that had been so dependable put UNC in a hole it couldn’t dig out of in a 9–5 loss to Duke at Boshamer Stadium on Friday, when the staff tied a season-high for runs allowed. Sophomore right-hander Jason DeCaro (loser, 4–3) struggled. (Tar Heel Tribune)
