UNC-Pitt baseball: 3 keys to a Diamond Heels victory
Second-ranked UNC will host Pitt Friday-Sunday for its final, regular season home series. Here's three keys to a North Carolina win.
It seems like college baseball season just started the other day. This weekend, your North Carolina Tar Heels will play their final, regular season home series. Second-ranked UNC (37-9-1, 17-7 ACC) welcomes Pitt, losers of its past four games, to Boshamer Stadium for a 3-game weekend set.
The Panthers (28-18, 10-14 ACC) and Diamond Heels begin their series Friday at 6 p. m. , continue Saturday at noon, then end with a 1 p.
m. clash on Mother's Day. North Carolina should be amongst the favorites for Omaha this year, but consistency has to return.
UNC mercy-ruled archrival Duke last Sunday, 13-0, but lost 12-2 the previous Tuesday to Coastal Carolina. The Diamond Heels smacked Duke on April 25 in Durham, 22-5 , but totaled three runs in their previous two games. Pitt is a tough team to figure out.
