The team is hoping to finish the regular season in the top six seeds in the ACC to get a bye in the conference tournament and is currently in sixth place. While this loss doesn't affect the ACC standings, it could be a real momentum crusher for the Tar Heels.
After the Orange dropped their first game of the day, Madison Knightâs home run with two outs in the seventh secured a split in the doubleheader against the Tar Heels.
UNC has now dropped three of its four ACC series of the season, and its conference record falls to 3-8. The loss also highlighted the offensive struggles that have plagued the team all year. The Tar Heels were shut out for the second straight game and could only produce three hits, all of which were infield singles.
