Fullerton, Calif. – Carolina entered the bottom of the fifth inning in a 6-6 tie with No. 2 Michigan at the Judi Garman Classic, but the Tar Heels (8-7) were unable to keep the 2015 National Runner-Up Wolverines at bay, as they dropped the weekend opener, 11-6.
“I thought our pitchers did a really nice job,” said head coach Donna J. Papa. “They got a lot of ground balls, got some pop ups. The big thing is that we have to execute, we have to make plays, and that’s the bottom line. In a game like that, no matter who you’re playing, we can’t make the mistakes that we made and expect to come out on the winning end.
