[GraceNugent]

UNC starts the game off strong with four hits, three two-out RBIs and some run support for Ryan Lynch

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

Couldn’t have asked for a better start from our bats. Keep it up, Ryan! Let’s go!!!

Heels with the Grace Nugent kill shot in the 1st.

Is the mercy rule in play in the tournament?

 

[unctar2001]

ESPN+ coming hard with the fragrance ads

Is the mercy rule in play in the tournament?

No

 

[Tar_Heels]

I suggest for those who haven't already seen it, go watch the ACCN feature on Erik Paulsen and his father.

Powerful

Is the mercy rule in play in the tournament?

Nope. Georgia Tech played 9 today.

FWIW i believe PEARatings came up with the Cbaseball killshot: https://pearatings.substack.com/p/the-baseball-killshot

Yes, but Grace redefined it correctly to 3 runs minimum.

 

[HeelTrip3]

No

Thanks

 

[goheels1117]

You throw a slider like that, you’re lucky to get the ball back. Didn’t end up hurting. Keep adding on runs now.

 

[Pogo_ka]

Lynch 29 pitches thru 2. 21 strikes. A good trend.

North Carolina's Erik Paulsen Jr.'s unbreakable bond with his father

Erik Paulsen Jr.'s dad died less than 11 months ago, but he wants everyone to remember his father fondly.

Just keep throwing strikes. Keep the count down and the bats hot.

 

[unc80]

Ryan keep mowing them down.

Hopefully he can make his fastball work because that slider is scary in a bad way. Needs to mix his changeup in if he can.

 

[GraceNugent]

Schaffner's base streak extends to 20 games with that walk

 

[Imatarheel79]

Powerful

NCSU buddy sent me that. Told him we were 10 feet away from Paulie’s mom at the opener. Very emotional experience for all of us close to her and his family when he hit that bomb.

 

[kenanfever]

Ben McDonald is the best. Really love his commentary.

 

[GraceNugent]

Bases juiced and two outs for Macon Winslow

 

[akillesheel17]

Ben McDonald is the best. Really love his commentary.

he's like if wayne actually knew ball. great to listen to

 

[GraceNugent]

Macon breaks his metal bat and UNC strands three

 

[TommyAshley]

B2

Hynek - 4-3
French - 4-3
Schaffner - BB
Hull - Schaffner to second on defensive indifference - BB
Gallaher - BB
Winslow - broken bat soft liner the third - L5

3-0 Carolina going 3

 

[sweetcaroline1874]

I hate stranding RISP, especially when it’s bases loaded.

 

[goheels1117]

12 balls on 14 pitches and make an out on the first pitch.

 

[unctar2001]

 

[unctarheel1984]

Great hitting and taking bad pitches for balls. I like it!

 

[KenansDad]

Was hoping Macon would be more patient there. He’s just walked 3 in a row and swing at the first pitch. Not a fan of that approach.

 

[RogerThatHeel]

Ugh, needed a couple there. Bad luck with the broken bat. You don’t see that often.

 

[tarheeldon13]

3 walks in a row and we swing at the first pitch!

 

[Ncdcnyheel]

Seemed like it may have been well struck if the bat held up

 

[unctar2001]

I need to donate enough money where I can influence us only using pinstripe uniforms

 

[unctarheel1984]

3 walks in a row and we swing at the first pitch!

You swing at a good pitch. Just bad luck with the broken bat.

 

[goheels1117]

Seemed like it may have been well struck if the bat held up

The bat didn’t hold up because he got jammed.

 

[heelscolts]

3 walks in a row and we swing at the first pitch!

 

[RogerThatHeel]

Well, if he can throw every slider like that I’ll take it. Lol

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Lynch already has more K's (3) than his previous two outings against Pitt and NCSU.
