A hit batter with the bases loaded drove in the tiebreaking run in the top of the ninth inning at Boshamer Stadium Tuesday night, as No. 13 Campbell squeaked by the Diamond Heels 6-5. Carolina led 5-3 entering the seventh inning but gave up the game’s final three runs.
UNC led the Camels by virtue of a four-run bottom of the third inning, which included a two-run single from Hunter Stokely and a two-run home run from Tomas Frick. Tuesday was the second game in a row with a homer for Frick, and he now has 10 long balls on the year.
But the Tar Heel bats went quiet after that and had no answer for a game-tying two-run bomb by the Camels in the seventh, nor for the go-ahead run in the ninth. A double and a single followed by two consecutive hit batters drove in the run.
Carolina had plenty of chances in the late innings, advancing a runner to third with two outs in the eighth (Vance Honeycutt flew out to end the threat) and putting runners on first and second with one out in the ninth (Alberto Osuna grounded into a double play to end the game). All in all, Carolina left 11 men on base. The Camels left 10 runners of their own stranded.
The loss is UNC’s 12th at home this season after dropping just nine contests at Boshamer Stadium in 2022. The team is 28-17 overall and faces another difficult midweek game on Wednesday, as it will travel to Greenville to face No. 14 East Carolina. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m.
