UNC pitchers make season history in series win vs. Georgia Tech

All eyes in the college baseball world focused on Chapel Hill this weekend, with third-ranked UNC hosting second-ranked Georgia Tech. Enter North Carolina, which has one of the nation's best pitching staffs , highlighted by a lockdown bullpen. The Yellow Jackets countered with the country's most dangerous offense , so something had to give.

The Tar Heels' pitching staff won this battle, becoming the first team holding Georgia Tech under five runs in consecutive games this season. UNC limited the Yellow Jackets to just a pair of runs on Friday, winning 5-2 to put itself one victory away from a series upset. North Carolina (33-7-1, 15-6 ACC) mercy-ruled Tech (32-7, 16-5 ACC) the following day, exploding offensively for a 14-4 win.

The Jackets avoided a sweep on Sunday, breaking out the bats for a 5-2 victory, while limiting the Diamond Heels' previously-hot bats in the series. UNC would be the clear Number One on Monday if it managed a sweep, but two dominant wins may very well put it in the driver's seat. Won the series, but fall short of a sweep on Sunday.
