The UNC baseball team won a massive series against Georgia Tech over the weekend, taking the first two games in a battle between Top-3 teams.
North Carolina began with a 5-2 win in Friday's opener, plating three runs in the first inning. The Diamond Heels (33-7-1, 15-6 ACC) enjoyed an offensive onslaught on Saturday afternoon, mercy-ruling the Yellow Jackets (32-7, 16-5 ACC) in a 14-4 domination, breaking things open with seven runs across the first two innings.
Tech salvaged Game 3 on Sunday, winning 5-2, but not before UNC proved itself as the ACC's best team. There's still a debate between North Carolina and UCLA as the country's best, but fans in Chapel Hill know the answer.
In a series with plenty of top performers, who do you think shined the brightest? While you debate that question, we give you our take below.

Arguably the Diamond Heels' best hitter, Hull cemented this debate over the weekend, producing in nearly every at-bat.
The highlights of Hull's weekend came during Saturday's 14-4 mercy rule, when he reached base three times. Hull drove in UNC's first run with a first-inning single, then broke the game open with a second-inning grand slam, extending UNC's lead to 7-0.
Hull now leads North Carolina with a .390 batting average. Pretty sweet mark for the George Mason transfer.
