UNC baseball may have gotten back on the right track on Tuesday night with a win over No. 21 East Carolina.
Logan Warmoth and Brandon Riley led the way with three hits for the Tar Heels while Tyler Ramirez added his team-leading eighth home run of the year as UNC beat ECU 9-1.
The win was the second over East Carolina this season, UNC knocked off the Pirates in March 17-4. But that was in the midst of a very strong start to the season for Carolina. The Tar Heels have been struggling over the second half of the season, but this could be a turning point.
UNC started the scoring early pushing across a run in the bottom of the first inning for a quick lead. Carolina extended that lead with two runs in the fifth and blew the game open with a five-run sixth inning.
UNC moved to 31-17 on the season with the win.
The Tar Heels have a quick turn around with a trip to the coast to take on UNC Wilmington at six o’clock on Wednesday night.
