Baseball To Square Off With Louisville

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Diamond Heels continue through ACC play back in the friendly confines of Boshamer Stadium as Louisville comes to Chapel Hill for a weekend tilt.

It will be the third year in a row and the seventh all-time series between the two programs with UNC holding a 13-9 overall record. Last year the teams split a Friday double header before Louisville won on Sunday.

The two teams have defended their own turf well, each with a positive win percentage at home. The two neutral site matchups were split, a win for the Heels in Omaha in 2007 and one for the Cards in their first ever ACC tournament.
