And that was just for the players. “It was a long game, put Baseball UNC-C 4 UNC 8 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 JmSam ■M| | AIgHM? •% WT: .. j . - *- DTH/JEFF POULAND UNC sophomore Abbey Woolley, right, has scored goals against Barbados and Canada for the U.S. Field Hockey Under-21 Team.

Campus Center.com : V^\ s v The world's largest campus job fair bit concerned about tonight, 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 UNC junior Tyrell Godwin had four hits against UNC-Charlotte and is 11-for-14 in the last three contests. 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.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.
