    No. 13 North Carolina scored three times in the fifth inning and held on to post a 3-2 win over the No. 1 Virginia baseball team Saturday afternoon at Boshamer Stadium as the Tar Heels finished off a three-game series sweep. The Cavaliers were swept in an ACC series for the first time since April 25-27, 2008, at Miami.

    Virginia (45-9, 22-8 ACC) finishes the regular season in a first-place tie with Georgia Tech in the ACC Coastal Division standings, marking UVa’s second straight division crown. By virtue of their series win against the Yellow Jackets in April, the Cavaliers have earned the No. 1 seed in the ACC Baseball Championship, which runs Wednesday through Sunday (May 25-29) at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Brackets and game times for the tournament will be announced Sunday. Read more

    Still-for-the-moment #1 Virginia is probably the most wounded 45-9 team in college-baseball history.

    No. 13 North Carolina scratched across two runs in the eighth inning to rally and defeat the No. 1-ranked Virginia baseball team, 2-1, on Friday night at Boshamer Stadium. UNC (43-12, 19-10) clinched the series, marking the Cavaliers’ first series loss this season and breaking a streak of 15 straight ACC series wins, dating to 2010.

    Despite the defeat Virginia (45-8, 22-7 ACC) clinched a share of its second-consecutive ACC Coastal Division championship as well as the No. 1 seed in the ACC Baseball Championship next week. Virginia Tech topped Georgia Tech, 7-5, Friday evening. If UVa and Georgia Tech finish tied in the standings, the Cavaliers hold the tiebreaker for the No. 1 seed based on their series win over the Yellow Jackets in April in Atlanta. Read more
