The Diamond Heels won their first two series of the season against James Madison and Virginia, but both of those three-game sets were at Boshamer Stadium. On their first trip away from Chapel Hill, Carolina found the proceedings a little tougher, losing their weekend series to Virginia Tech 2-1 in Blacksburg, VA. The Hokies were the second ranked opponent in a row for UNC, and while the series against Virginia was a low scoring affair for both teams, the bats were alive for both VT and Carolina.
Game 1
The Diamond Heels started the road series well enough, getting out to one-run runs in the second and third inning before exploding for four runs in the top of the fifth.
