The North Carolina Tarheels got another walk off win, this time against Fairfield, their fourth walk off win of the season in their seven wins. Eli Sutherland drew a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the 13th inning to force in Tyler Lynn with the winning run. Lynn lead off the inning getting hit by a pitch, Cody Roberts singled and Ryder Ryan was intentionally walked to load the bases. The Tarheels tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning at three. Brian Miller hit a leadoff triple and scored on an RBI groundout by Adam Pate. Miller's head first slide to the outside of the plate barely got under the tag of Fairfield catcher Kevin Radziewicz.
Zac Gallen had another quality start but did not get the win. He went 7 2/3 innings, gave up five hits and two earned runs, struck out six, and did not issue a walk. Tarheels relief pitching was once again stellar. Hunter Williams, Spencer Trayner, and A.J. Bogucki went a combined 5 1/3 innings and only gave up one unearned run. Bogucki worked out of a bases loaded jam in the 11th inning and got the win.

The Basics
North Carolina Tarheels pitchers only gave up four hits last night to UCLA but seven walks, an error, and a hit batter, gave #9 UCLA all the baserunners they needed to take a walk off 6-5 win over the #16 Tarheels. The Tarheels took a 3-0 lead in the top of the second inning on RBI's by Logan Warmoth, Cody Roberts, and Adam Pate. UCLA scored two runs in the fourth and fifth innings to take a 4-3 lead. The Tarheels came back to take a 5-4 lead when Warmoth led off the sixth inning with a triple, Pate followed with an RBI single and was later driven in by a Roberts RBI single. UCLA tied the game in the bottom of the seventh inning on a wild pitch by reliever Hansen Butler and won it in the bottom of the ninth inning on a single up the middle by Bruin right fielder Eric Filia off of Tarheel reliever Cole Aker.
Tarheel starter J.B. Bukauskas struck out a career high nine batters in four and two-thirds innings, but walked three, hit a batter, gave up one hit, and gave up four runs, only two of them earned. Zach Rice came on in relief, gave up a hit and walked a batter before he was lifted for Spencer Trayner. Trayner went one and one-third innings, struck out three, walked two, and gave up a run on Butler's wild pitch. Butler struck out four and only gave up one hit. Tarheel pitchers have held UCLA batters to nine hits and a .148 batting average in the two games thus far. They have also struck out 30 UCLA batters.

The Diamond Tarheels Opening Series
The North Carolina Tarheels Baseball team opened up the season with a three-game sweep of Seton Hall. Pitching is going to be the Tarheels strength this season and that was proven in the sweep of Seton Hall.
Senior Benton Moss got his 20th win as a Tarheel, Reliever Spencer Trayner got a win in relief with 2 2/3 scoreless innings behind starter Trent Thornton, and Freshman starter J.B. Bukauskas picked up his first win as a Tarheel with 5 innings and only giving up one unearned run. Bukauskas was a 20th Round Draft Pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks in spite of his request that he be taken off Major league Draft Boards because of his desire to be a Tarheel. He was still drafted on the strength of his Fastball that can run up to 98 MPH.
The offensive standouts against Seton Hall were Adrian Chacon with 6 hits in the series, Joe Dudek with a Homerun and 4 RBI's, and Tyler Ramirez had a Homerun and 6 RBI's. The Tarheels batted .327 in the three games and had a 2.67 team ERA.
