Box Score
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Cody Stubbs drove in three runs and four pitchers combined to keep Davidson's bats in check, as No. 1 North Carolina defeated the Wildcats, 10-2, in non-conference baseball action on a rainy Tuesday afternoon in Boshamer Stadium.
Corner infielders Andrew Barna and Ryan Lowe drove in the two Davidson (5-5) runs, as the 'Cats were held to four hits.
The first two innings were scoreless, but North Carolina (11-0) took command with five runs in the bottom of the third inning. After a pair of walks, third baseman Colin Moran (1-for-5, 2 RBI) drove in a run from second on a base hit to left field, centerfielder Chaz Frank (1-for-4) scored from third base on a wild pitch, and then Moran scored on an errant throw on a single by right fielder Skye Bolt (2-for-3). Stubbs followed with a two-run home run to right field.
RHP Trent Thornton (2-0) held Davidson hitless until right fielder Nathan Becker singled in the top of the fifth inning.
In the bottom of the fifth, Stubbs drove in Bolt again with a sacrifice fly, and Mike Zolk followed with an RBI-single to give UNC a 7-0 lead. The Wildcats answered in the top of the sixth inning as second baseman Sam Foy and left fielder Forrest Brandt both singled to lead off the inning, and Barna then drove in Foy from third for Davidson's first run on a grounder to third that was misplayed. Thornton was relieved by LHP Peter Hendel, but Lowe singled up the middle to drive in Brandt.
RHP Trevor Kelley took over for Hendel to get UNC out of the inning, and held the Wildcats scoreless in 2.1 innings of work. The Tar Heels added two runs in the seventh and one in the eighth for the final margin.
RHP Nick Neitzel (0-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing the third inning scoring following a scoreless second inning. The Wildcats used six different pitchers.
Davidson will next host Western Carolina in another three-game Southern Conference series. The games are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m., 2 p.m., and 1 p.m., respectively, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
