In a series the Tar Heels had to have, Carolina was able to recapture a little Boshamer Magic late to take an important two out of three games against Duke. While the bats continued to struggle, the UNC pitching once again showed up at important moments to guide the Tar Heels into the week closer to the top of the ACC standings.
Let’s take a look at how they got there:
Thursday - UNC 4, Duke 3 (Box score)
The first game portended just how close this series was going to be as the two series openers faced off, and the bullpens managed to keep both teams close.
