UNC jumped out to a three-run lead in the bottom of the first against William and Mary Tuesday night and never looked back.

The Tar Heels put up 17 runs the hard way, with just three extra-base hits, none advancing further than a double.

Leadoff hitter Brian Miller set the tone from the start, picking up a walk and stealing a base, which led to the first run of the game.

Miller scored four runs on two hits and tacked on three RBIs.

He was one of 10 different Tar Heels to round all four bases in the game.

Freshman Brandon Riley also had a big day at the plate, going 2-3 with four RBIs.

Starting pitcher Jason Morgan didn’t pitch long enough to earn a decision, but had a solid four innings of work. Morgan allowed just one earned run and struck out four.

Cole Aker was credited with the win after locking down the fifth and sixth inning.

The Tar Heels return to action Friday when they travel to Winston-Salem for the first of a three-game series with Wake Forest.
