With the final two weeks of the college baseball regular season on the horizon, the No. 24 UNC baseball team resumes its quest for Omaha on Tuesday—welcoming the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs to Chapel Hill for a game at Boshamer Stadium.

The Tar Heels come into the game with a 29-16 record, and have won 12 of their last 15 games during a recent hot streak, while the Bulldogs have struggled this season, currently sitting at 20-26 in 2015.

Despite having struggled offensively for a good portion of the season, UNC should have a prime opportunity to get the bats going in this game, as Asheville has a sky-high team ERA of 6.23 this year.

Look for a pair of UNC juniors to try and put some runs up on the board early, catcher Korey Dunbar and center-fielder Skye Bolt, who each have six home runs this year—good enough to share the team lead at this point in the season.

On the other side, any pitcher the Tar Heels send to the mound will have to pay special attention to powerful Bulldog first baseman Hunter Bryant. His 11 home runs this year are close to as many as Bolt and Dunbar combined.

The game is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, and if there’s one thing anyone can predict—it should be a slugfest, with a few baseballs potentially leaving the park.
