The Diamond Heels are playing their best baseball of the season here in late March. They entered Tuesday’s game winners of 16 of their last 18 games and fresh off a sweep of ACC foe Georgia Tech.
They continued that win streak with a 10-5 win over North Carolina A&T on Tuesday afternoon.
North Carolina fell behind 1-0 in the top of the second inning but responded right back with a two-run home run from Parks Harber. After A&T tied it in the top of the third, the Tar Heels responded again with a three-run bottom half of the inning.
Vance Honeycutt hit a triple to score a run before Alberto Osuna had a sac fly and Parks reached on an error. From there, UNC never looked back adding two in the fifth and three in the sixth to extend the lead.
