it that way,” said freshman center fielder
Adam Greenberg of North Carolina’s
seventh straight win, an 8-4 victory
against UNC-Charlotte. “It just seemed
like after the third inning the game
stopped, and it didn’t pick up again.”
By then, the Tar Heels had a 5-2 lead,
and the remaining six innings were a
mere formality.
“I don’t quite understand why we
wouldn’t be ready to play every game
because I think we should be,” UNC
coach Mike Fox said. “But I was a little

coming off an
emotional game
(against East
Carolina on
Tuesday). I think
we played well
and we played
hard.”
Greenberg, for
one, admitted to
being less than
enthused about
facing a noncon
ference opponent.
“I just wanted to

get this game over with,” Greenberg said.
While Greenberg might have felt
uninspired, his play suggested otherwise.
His leadoff single sparked a four-run,
first-inning rally highlighted by catcher
Dan Moylan’s fourth home run of the
season. Greenberg added two more hits,
including a triple, while reaching base
four times and scoring three runs.
Tyrell Godwin continued his offen
sive tear with four hits and two RBI. He
also made a sliding backhanded catch in
the second inning. Godwin is now
11 -for-14 over the past three games.
“He’s been a little more patient,” Fox
said. “He’s so strong, the ball just jumps
ullie lailg (Tar Hrrl
off his bat better than other guys.”
In addition to Godwin’s bat, UNC
managed to reach base in every inning
thanks largely to four 49er errors and
eight walks from five pitchers.
Fox used six pitchers in an effort to
get work for as many people as possible
leading up to this weekend’s series at
Virginia. Starter Scott Autrey pitched
three innings before yielding to a
parade of pitchers that ended with
Derrick DePriest, who struck out the
side in the ninth.
“Our pitching worked just the way
we wanted,” said Fox of his pre
arranged pitching-by-committee plan.
Still, as Greenberg alluded to, fatigue
was a factor for the Tar Heels.
“I think guys have been fighting some
physical and mental fatigue,” Fox said.
“We needed guys to get their confidence
back, and I think tonight helped.”
