Really have to win this series…RPI probably takes a slight hit even if we win 2 of 3…but Committee won’t care as long as we win the series.

Can’t believe Duke is down at #92 in the RPI…

 

[UofNattyChamps]

Tommy and Grace, have we heard any definitive word about whether Macon is OK? I worried about his wrist after exiting following that “catcher’s interference” incident.

 

[unctarheel1984]

Not sure about getting in three games with the weather, but Carolina needs to win all of them played to have a shot at overtaking GaT for the ACC regular season crown.

 

[goheels1117]

Does anybody know if we're allowed to move a game to Sunday or is it you have to get it in in 3 days? Because for Fri-Sun series you can't move a game to Monday.

Forbes addressed this postgame on Tuesday. Goose egg. X-rays negative. Got hit pretty good but at the time, expected to be good to go. Hynek certainly a good replacement option behind the plate if necessary

if we hear otherwise, will definitely post it

 

[rayram]

Is a double header possible on Friday, or is the local pony league team using that dook field earlier in the day?

Weather up there doesn't look like a washout Saturday. They may move it up in the afternoon from 3 to 12 or something but it's gonna be fine.

 

[uncbornbred]

visiting grandkids in A’ville … gonna have to keep up with the score occasionally

GO HEELS

 

[unc80]

Let's GO!!

Yep, even though I'm praying like crazy fora good gully washer, doesn't look like we have to worry about it for this series.

Need rain badly. I don’t care if it washes the whole series out.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Per UNC, Erik Paulsen is out of the lineup tonight (Illness), and is questionable for tomorrow.

 

[premn]

Ack!

 

[HeelYeah2012]

Tough news about Paulsen. We need him. Glad it’s just an illness and not an injury. Time for others to step up tonight!

 

[TarHeelColby10]

Tough not to have Erik, he’d be so good at firstbase. I’m guessing Howe plays first, Nunez or whoever will have to fill that gap in the lineup!

 

[unc80]

Howe at 1st. Nunez takes LF.

 

[premn]

Going to be interesting to see if we try to spam stolen bases like BC did

[ranzino4three]

Nice Smedium by Weaver!

let’s go

 

[Malachidad05]

Dont want to jinx it but this should be an easy night

 

[unc80]

Awful long mound visit ump.

 

[ranzino4three]

I forgot to tag @goheels1117 with my first post. My bad. Hope you didn’t wake up and choose violence this morning.

 

[sm17]

Light em up early

T1

Schaff walks, steals second, Gavin walks......Hull Ks.....Winslow Ks....Schaff to third, Gavin to second...


Weaver all over the place with command, but lands a couple off speeds to get Hull and Winslow to wave at strike 3

Howe.....5-3...

Weaver underwater in top 1....25 pitches, only 12 strikes. But does enough to get out of it

0-0

 

[HeelYeah2012]

That Winslow at bat was tough. Swung at ball 4 twice, or at least looked that way from my living room.

 

[goheels1117]

Winslow should have walked on the 3-1 pitch. He’ll want that swing decision back.

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

You literally just jinxed it. Why would you say that? I truly have no idea why fans say stuff like this, unless you’re a dookie in disguise.

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I think there are more Carolina fans here than dook fans, so let’s win.

 

[TommyAshley]

Hamilton singles, promptly caught stealing.....13 of 22 for Winslow CS

 

[dondon21]

Love that for Macon after his K

 

[heelsdoc030]

That's gotta feel great for Winslow

 

[TommyAshley]

Smith Ks check swing....

 

[TarHeelColby10]

Watching down the line, it’s not a great facility but really good viewing

 

[goheels1117]

Obviously credit to Winslow for the hose but underrated play by French cutting that ball off and holding it to a single. Not sure any of the other corner OF options make that play.

 

[TommyAshley]

T2

Nicholson 6-3
Hynek Ks
Nunez - HBP
French - 6-3
