CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Diamond Heels return to Boshamer Stadium for a conference clash with No. 22 Boston College.

It will be Carolina's second straight weekend facing a newly ranked foe, as an impressive start to ACC play has vaulted the conference's last place team in the preseason poll up in to the D1Baseball rankings.

OUTRAN THE CAMELS IN MARATHON MIDWEEK CONTEST
➤ It took four hours and forty-six minutes and 14 innings, but Carolina eventually came away with a 5-4 victory over a red-hot Campbell team on Tuesday night in Chapel Hill.
➤ The rock fight ended with a Rom Kellis V RBI single in the bottom of the 14th after the two teams had failed to produce a run in the five previous extra innings. Campbell scored their fourth and final run in the top of the fourth and would be shutout for the final 10 frames.
➤ UNC needed a season-high 49 at-bats to get their fifth and final run and claim their third extra innings walk-off of the season. Seven different UNC arms combined to throw 225 pitches, both highs for the 2026 campaign.
➤ Jackson Rose was the hero of the night, shutting down the Fighting Camels' attack down the stretch. He would finish with a career long outing of 6.0 IP with zero runs allowed on two hits with five strikeouts.
➤ Beyond just Rose, Carolina got a combined 6.1 shutout frames with eight punchouts from Walker McDuffie, Camron Seagraves, Matthew Matthijs, and Tom Chmielewski (who got the win).

FORBES AGREES TO CONTRACT EXTENSION
➤ Carolina baseball head coach Scott Forbes, who has led his team to five NCAA Regionals, three Super Regionals and one College World Series during his five-year tenure, has agreed to terms on a new contract extension.
➤ He is in the midst of another successful campaign in his sixth year in charge of the Diamond Heels since taking the head coaching reigns from the Hall of Famer Mike Fox.
➤ Forbes has led Carolina to the NCAA postseason in all five seasons of his tenure, the first coach in program history to do so.
➤ Named the ACC Coach of the Year in 2024, Forbes has also had tremendous success in conference competition. He has led the Heels to a pair of ACC Tournament championships (2022, 2025) and an ACC Coastal Division championship (2024).
➤ An incredible developer of talent, Forbes and his staff have coached nine All-Americas, had 26 named to an All-ACC team, and seen 21 taken in the MLB Draft.
➤ In his 25 years as a member of the Tar Heels' coaching staff, Forbes has helped lead UNC to 19 NCAA Tournament appearances, eight trips to the College World Series, eight ACC division titles, and five ACC Tournament titles.

NO PLACE LIKE THE BOSH
➤ The Tar Heels have won 77.3 percent of their home games under Scott Forbes, going 158-46-1.
➤ 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."
