April 6, 2019 | Softball
CHAPEL HILL – Slugging 14 hits on the day, Carolina downed Virginia, 8-0 in five innings for UNC's 20th win of the season. Four Tar Heels had multi-hit games to spark Carolina's offense while solid defense and six Brittany Pickett strikeouts held off the Hoos.
Despite putting two in scoring position to start the series, Virginia was unable to get on the board. The Tar Heels scored two runs both in the second and third innings before securing the victory with four runs in the fifth. UNC improves to 20-13, 9-4 in the ACC while the Hoos fall to 16-19, 5-8 in conference.
Carolina and Virginia wrap up the series with a doubleheader Sunday at noon.
