UNC starter Hobbs Johnson had a solid outing, giving up two earned in five innings, but was in line for the loss before UNC’s late game heroics.

The bullpen also did its part in the effort, with Chris MunnellyTate Parrish, and Trevor Kelley combining to give up just one hit in their five innings of relief.

Chris McCue got the final five outs to earn the win.

With the win, the Tar Heels improve to 19-1, which is the programs’ second best start through 20 games.
