As their baseball seasons winds down, the North Carolina Tar Heels find themselves in a very good spot, particularly with postseason play approaching.

The Diamond Heels wasted no time opening their scoring party on Sunday, playing six first-inning runs against a struggling Blue Devils squad. UNC also scored in the second, third, fourth and sixth innings, while Duke only managed five baserunners all god.
Macon Winslow, who transferred over from Duke in the offseason, enjoyed a career day against his former school with three hits and five RBIs. Nine different North Carolina batters recorded a hit, but catcher Colin Hynek was the only other hitter with multiple RBI.
The Diamond Heels have one of college baseball's best aces in starting pitcher Jason De Caro, who sports an 8-2 win-loss record with a 2.07 ERA and 54 strikeouts, but their team strength lies in the bullpen. Freshman Caden Glauber (6-0, 62 K) and sophomore Walker McDuffie (6-2, 65K are guys no opponent wants to face.
