CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Diamond Heels prepare for another Tuesday night matchup, this time against in-state opposition in the UNCW Seahawks. The Wilmington club travel to Chapel Hill for the first time in two years after last season's scheduled game was cancelled due to unforgiving weather.

This showdown will be the first of two in 2026, as UNC is set to play in Wilmington in their final midweek game. Carolina enters this contest on an eight game winning streak against UNCW dating back to 2019.

GOLDEN GLOBE WINS ACC PITCHER OF THE WEEK
➤ The hero of Carolina's 14-inning marathon win against Clemson, true freshman reliever Caden Glauber earned the team with the conference's best ERA their first ACC Pitcher of the Week award of 2026.
➤ He entered a tie game on the road in the bottom of the ninth and pitched all the way through the final out of the 14th to help the Heels pick up a crucial victory to even the series.
➤ The Fort Mill, S.C., native, who should still be in his senior year of high school, threw a career-high 6.0 high-leverage, shutout innings with six strikeouts while allowing just five hits and three walks.
➤ He is the first true freshman to claim a weekly award for the program since Jason Decaro did so in 2024. He is also the first underclassman to win one for any team this season.

NON-CON COMBAT
➤ The Heels have compiled a 118-35-1 (.769) record in games against non-ACC opponents under Forbes. This team is currently 17-1-1 out of conference.
➤ Last season, they were 25-4 against out of conference foes. The 2024 team was 24-6.
➤ Since 2020, UNC has won (or split) 13 of its 14 three-game non-conference weekend series with a 33-7-1 mark in that span.

NO PLACE LIKE THE BOSH
➤ The Tar Heels have won 77.3 percent of their home games under Scott Forbes, going 161-47-1.
➤ The 2025 squad racked up a 29-9 (.763) home record, winning five of seven series.
➤ The Tar Heels boasted a 37-3 record at Boshamer Stadium in 2024, winning a program record 92.5 percent of its games at home.
➤ It was the 13th time in program history the Tar Heels won 30 or more home games.
➤ Originally opened in 1972 before reopening in 2009 after a $26 million renovation, the Bosh has been the site for many magical memories. Since '09, the Heels have hosted 10 regionals and eight supers in their palace affectionately referred to as the "Augusta National of College Baseball."
