You may be the best team playing against one of the worst, but there’s also a reason baseball is played in series. It’s just tough to beat one team three times in a row, and baseball is also fickle enough that the championship is not determined via any single-elimination format. The ACC title? That’s another thing all together.
So even though the two teams were seemingly mismatched, Pittsburgh was able to salvage a win over the three days in the Steel City. Carolina’s offense, though, showed up when it needed to and still took a series win over the Panthers.
