B1

Burress - K looking....DeCaro battles back from 2-0 to get the lookie with off speed
Irby - 4-3
Herring - K Looking

DeCaro has the offspeed working early...

 

[GraceNugent]

DeCaro matches Norby, both with two strikeouts in the first frame

 

[TarHeelColby10]

Jason seems to have it all tonight, good to see.

 

[premn]

The crowd silence on that second strikeout was beautiful

DeCaro in full control. Filthy curve (I didn't know he had) for the punch out.

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I see you, DeCaro! We need to get our bats going to get him some run support. Let’s go boys!!!

 

[akillesheel17]

decaro's 2-strike curve is so sick when he's on. slider looks a lot sharper than it did last week too

 

[BigJulius94]

Gonna be a fun pitching match up

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Get those bats going boys!!!

 

[GraceNugent]

Erik Paulsen solo shot into the jungle in right. His second homer of the year...we should've known he was crushing the ball in batting practice

 

[akillesheel17]

PAULIEEEEEEE

 

[TarHeelColby10]

Paulson 2 bombs - both against LHP

 

[CoachQue]

LETS GOOOO!

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Heck yeah Erik!!! Woo hoo!!! LFG!!!

 

[unc80]

Attaboy Erik!!!

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

We need to get into Norby’s head.

 

[goheels1117]

Paulsen’s contact has been way better than the results through 5 games. Awesome to see him get one left on left early in this one.

 

[akillesheel17]

Paulson 2 bombs - both against LHP

can't believe this dude "only" hit 9 homers in the CAA last year. power swing looks so easy for him, real credit to the staff for unlocking it. similar to stokely's last season

 

[unc80]

Good AB by Hynek to draw the walk.

 

[TommyAshley]

T2

Winslow - F9
Paulsen - HR down right field line into the trees and jungle
Maginnis - K
Hynek - BB - the eye on pitcher routine fired up crowd
Howe - K

UNC 1 ECU 0

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Thank you, Erik, but Norby looks good unfortunately.

20+ HR guy this year

 

[TommyAshley]

Crowd has filled in in stands...still plenty of seats , but the jungle is PACKED......great college baseball environment

 

[BigJulius94]

So far lefties look like they have no chance outside of Paulsen. But will get better as they see him more with the off speed

Howe - K

UNC 1 ECU 0

similar to when we saw Burns in Winston a couple years ago and Arnold last year, we're going to K a lot - just a matter of attacking and getting a couple of sequential hits around the strikeouts.

 

[GraceNugent]

delay of game here, the sprinklers are going off

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Nice job there, ECU. What on earth?

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Guess Hargett is not ready. Howe looked overmatched against the lefty . But he wasn’t alone. Hopefully he will adjust

 

[unc80]

Come on Pirates. REALLY???

 

[premn]

Amateur hour here

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Guess Hargett is not ready. Howe looked overmatched against the left. But he wasn’t alone. Hopefully he will adjust

Didn’t Forbes say he was injured?

Can somebody correlate Pirates with why you’d name something, The Jungle?

 

[TommyAshley]

Didn’t Forbes say he was injured?

Perry was HBP in hand back in preseason and has been working back to form....

 

[GraceNugent]

I love this sport...

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Well that was a lucky break for them.

 

[premn]

Nicholson can’t catch a break.

 

[TommyAshley]

B2

Lenahan - 6-3
Whitaker - squib that started foul and came back fair...infield hit
Wallace - hit and run L6, doubles off Whitaker.....
