UNC against Duke.

It’s a big game, no matter the sport.

The rivals will meet three times on the baseball field over the weekend as the Tar Heels get back into Atlantic Coast Conference play.

No. 6 North Carolina won two mid-week games against tough in-state opponents in No. 17 East Carolina and Elon on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The series against the Blue Devils will be played at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

The Tar Heels are looking to continue its strong start to the season. Carolina enters the weekend series at 14-2. Duke is 10-7 so far this season and 1-2 in ACC play.

Game one of the series will get started at six o’clock Friday night with UNC ace Zac Gallen taking the mound against Duke’s Bailey Clark.

This is the first series that will be broadcasted on WCHL.
