After an up and down week that saw a loss to Coastal Carolina and a drubbing of William & Mary, the Tar Heels get ready for a three-game series against Wake Forest.
The Tar Heel pitching staff will have all it can handle as they travel to face star first baseman Will Craig.
Craig is the reigning ACC Player of the Year and currently leads the league in batting average and RBI’s, while still showing a propensity for power, going deep 11 times this season.
But despite Craig’s prowess at the plate, Wake Forest has struggled this season, going just 7-11 so far in ACC play.
The Demon Deacons have won three of their last four games, including taking two of three from Florida State.
If the Tar Heels hit like they did Wednesday, when they put up 17 runs on William & Mary, then they should be able to handle Wake Forest.
First pitch is at 6:00 p.m. Friday, 4:00 p.m. Saturday and 1:00 p.m. Sunday.
