After a tough weekend against Stanford that resulted in the Tar Heels first two losses of the season, they took on another tough squad in UNCW on Tuesday.
Cam Padgett took the mound as the starter but it was relief pitcher Matthew Mathjis that came away with the win, his first of the season. Freshmen Ryan Lynch and Walker McDuffie also made appearances and continue to impress in year one.
As for the bats, sophomore catcher Luke Stevenson went yard twice bringing his total on the season to seven homers. Gavin Gallaher added another solo home run, his second of the year.
