Game 50 - UNC 7 Pitt 3 - Sweep Secured

[unctarheel1984]

Wild pitch was on the check swing strike 3 call.

Got it. Announcer called it wrong. Thanks.

Folger fired up after that K......2-1 going B3

 

[unc80]

Set down pitt boy! Folger is in a nice groove.

 

[TennesseeTarHeel1999]

Folger is dealing!

 

[SpencerHaskell]

6 K's already today for Boaz through 3... ties season high (2/14 vs Indiana), marks his season high in ACC play

 

[UNC23NDME]

Folger consistently 94 today, that’ll play boss

 

[premn]

Great performance from Folger so far

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Gallaher K
Winslow F9
Paulsen 1B
Nicholson K

Through 3: 2-1 UNC

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

Weird feeling about this one right now…hope I’m wrong.

 

[Heelexplorer84]

Looks like everyone is hunting the fence right now at the plate. Get back in our approach and let’s roll.

 

[TarHeelColby10]

Folger having a day!

 

[GraceNugent]

Folger Boaz, high strikeout count since Princeton in 2024...and he just barely lets up a homer. So less impactful stat but still important

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Well, that was unfortunate.

 

[Southern01]

Honeycutt would have caught that ball.

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

We really need to get Folger more run support.

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

Righties are murdering the baseball off of Folger right now.

 

[premn]

offense time

 

[unctarheel1984]

Dang. Boy whacked that ball to tie it up. I would still stick with Boaz a little longer.

 

[ranzino4three]

Righties are murdering the baseball off of Folger right now.

Needs to establish fastball in on the righties.

 

[unc80]

New ballgame. Let's go offense.

 

[unc80]

We must not work on bunting.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

How BB
Hynek K
French P4
Howe advances to second on a WP, up to third on an E2
Schaffner F7

End of 4: 2-2

I think you go to the pen for the last 5 innings. The cardinal sin today would be leaving Boaz out there too long.

 

[ranzino4three]

Anytime there is a runner on base with less than two out, French needs to be bunting.

 

[UNC23NDME]

Anytime there is a runner on base with less than two out, French needs to be bunting.

He shouldn’t be in the lineup if that’s the case lol

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Forbes going to the pen... Caden Glauber making his second appearance of the weekend

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Boaz's final line: 4.1 IP, 3H, 2 ER, 8K, 77/41

 

[GraceNugent]

Seven is the most strikeouts for Folger since his third UNC ever back in 2024 against Princeton

 

[ranzino4three]

He shouldn’t be in the lineup if that’s the case lol

He’s is the lineup because of his defense. Anything he gives us at the plate is a bonus.

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

If Folger would embrace the role, he could absolutely be a nightmare lefty specialist the rest of the way.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

The 8 K's is one shy of Boaz's career high (9 vs Princeton on 3/1/2024)

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Glauber comes in and immediately induces an inning-ending DP

 

[ranzino4three]

I think Boaz is more comfortable starting than coming out of the pen.

 

[TommyAshley]

2 pitches 2 outs for Glauber......not bad.

 

[goheels1117]

Anytime there is a runner on base with less than two out, French needs to be bunting.

His on-base is .380 so that would be pretty silly to me.

 

[UNC23NDME]

He’s is the lineup because of his defense. Anything he gives us at the plate is a bonus.

That doesn’t change the fact he can’t bunt every time we have runners on. You can’t give away that many outs.

 

[bluebooksandbluecups]

I think Boaz is more comfortable starting than coming out of the pen.

I know he is…but at some point you have to figure it out. Or you figure out a change-up. Because you have to be able to get righties out.

4 1/3 3H 2ER 8k

from the Sunday guy

who else are you going to start? Glauber has proven by over and over to be more useful for this team out of the pen over a weekend.

 

[BlueHeels02]

Should be 2 on 1 out

 

[unc80]

Offense is failing. Their Sunday guy has shut us down.
