It was a decisive game for North Carolina on Wednesday.
The top-seeded Tar Heels needed a win in order to advance to the semifinals of the ACC Baseball Championship this week.
Pittsburgh had beaten Georgia Tech on Tuesday, which meant regardless of the Tar Heels' game on Friday, if they beat the Panthers, they would advance due to a tie breaker. If the Tar Heels lost, the Panthers would advance.
The expectation was that UNC would get the victory. It swept Pitt earlier in the season, outscoring the Panthers 32-5 in the three games. But it was Pitt (29-25) who got the win on Wednesday, and will now advance to the semifinals of the tournament.
