Home runs from Macon Winslow, Erik Paulsen and Colin Hynek helped the No. 3 Diamond Heels beat No. 2 Georgia Tech 5-2 in the first game of a critical three-game ACC series at Boshamer Stadium Friday night. The UNC win snaps the Yellow Jackets’ 13-game winning streak.
Winslow’s two-run blast put the capper on a three-run first inning for UNC against Georgia Tech ace Tate McKee, who suffered his first loss of the season. Hynek’s solo shot in the second and Paulsen’s in the third pushed the Carolina lead to 5-0, and that was enough run support for the UNC pitchers against the explosive Yellow Jacket offense.
Jason DeCaro, celebrating his 20th birthday Friday night, earned the win with five innings pitched while striking out four and allowing just one run. Caden Glauber tossed three innings of relief and got himself out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth, allowing just one Georgia Tech run and stranding the tying runs on base. Walker McDuffie pitched a perfect ninth to close out the UNC win.
Friday’s win improves UNC to 32-6-1 overall and 14-5 in ACC play, just one game behind the 15-4 Yellow Jackets. Carolina can go for the series victory Saturday at 12 p.m. in the series’ second game.
