Joey Lancellotti pitched five and a third strong innings on Friday night, giving up just two runs and knocking in a pair of his own en route to a 15-3 North Carolina win over Middle Tennessee State in the 2020 season opener. He followed that up with a game-winning walk-off home run on Saturday that improved the Tar Heels to 2-0 on the young season.
Lancellotti had just one hit in four plate appearances on the day, but it was the last one that meant so much to a UNC team poised to sweep its first series of the season.
