The No. 6 UNC baseball team got back on the winning track Tuesday night, rolling over East Carolina in Greenville, 17-4.

The Pirates got the scoring started with a run in the first, but Carolina exploded with eight runs in the second. Adam Pate hit a three-run double and Tyler Lynn and Tyler Ramirez each hit homers in the second inning to give the Heels a lead they wouldnโ€™t relinquish. Spencer Trayner got the win with 1.2 scoreless innings in relief after starter A.J. Bogucki got chased in the fifth.

With the win, UNC is now 13-2 on the year. ECU drops to 11-6. More than 5,200 fans were in attendance, the third largest crowd ever at Clark-Leclair Stadium.

The Tar Heels return to Boshamer Stadium on Wednesday to host Elon. This weekend Carolina heads to Durham for a three-game set with Duke at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
