Get outs.

Pittsburgh is one of the nation’s best offensive  teams in the country as it is top 10 in home runs, runs per game and slugging percentage and second in batting average and 17th nationally in batting average. The runs are a product of the home runs of course, but in reality it’s because of how Pitt gets on base.

The Panthers lead the country in walks and are fourth in the country in on-base percentage. That means they are extremely patient at the plate and won’t take silly risks.

UNC’s pitching staff will be important in this one as it has to deliver outs by any means necessary.
