By Matt Terry Assistant Sports Editor The North Carolina baseball team figured out how to alleviate some of the pressure from its freshman-dominated pitching staff Tuesday: bat around in the first inning. The Tar Heels scored six runs in the first, and Scott Manshack Baseball CCU 4 UNC 9 pitched she strong innings in his colle giate debut as UNC beat Coastal Carolina 9-4 at Boshamer Stadium. “Having a six-run lead really helps out there,” Manshack said. “(You) just have to go out there and do your job. All you got to do is throw strikes.” For the most part, Manshack seemed completely under control on the mound. He struck out the first batter who faced him, center fielder Ryan McGraw, with a 2-2 outside fastball that caught McGraw looking. Although Manshack gave up a two out walk to Adam Keim followed by a single to Jake Ellifritz, Manshack (1-0) responded by getting Justin Owens to ground to second, ending the first. That was the only thing even closely resembling a jam that the righthander would get himself into. Not that he needed his best stuff Tuesday. UNC’s Adam Greenberg led off the bottom half of the first with a double, and Russ Adams followed with a run scoring single through the hole on the right side. Scott Farrell doubled, and Ryan Blake was then hit by a pitch for the first of two times on the afternoon. Jason Howell walked, scoring Adams. Freshman outfielder Ralph Roberts then drove a 1-2 curveball up the mid dle, driving home the third and fourth runs of his short career. “We just wanted to come out and take advantage of their mistakes and score some runs,” Roberts said. “And I was just trying to come through and get a hit.” Roberts wasn’t the only one putting bat on ball. The Tar Heels (3-0) sent 11 men to the plate in the first Chanticleer starter Scott Sturkie (1-2) lasted only that inning, throwing 32 pitches, giving up five hits and five earned runs, while walking two. Then Manshack took over. He didn’t get ahead of many batters - only nine of the 26 Chants who faced him saw first pitch strikes -but he scattered just seven hits through six innings, allowing two runs (one earned) while striking out four. “Scott was doing a nice job keeping goutliy IEBSI Course TsSsT Open to the Public Winter Specials $5 off cart fee with purchase of 18 hole green fee!

He earned his first save of the season. them off-balance,” Fox said. “Once you get that lead, you want to keep them at bay, make them rally at the end.” The Chants threatened in the seventh, scoring twice off ofjason King, who did n’t retire either of the batters he faced. After Luke Ullman walked, McGraw reached on a King throwing error. But Howell, a senior transfer, relieved King, and after allowing the two inher ited runners to score -one on a wild pitch and one during a double play - Howell allowed just one total baserun ner in the eighth and. ninth innings. Howell, who also pitched 2 1/3 innings of shutout ball on Sunday, was 3-for-3 from the plate with two RBI and a run scored. He’s batting a comfortable .750 through three games this season. “How about that for a guy who walks into your program and says, ‘I want to come here,’” Fox said. “And we didn’t Sports really know about him. He’s a tough kid, and he’s done the job so far.” UNC faces William & Mary today at 3:30 at Boshamer. Daniel Moore will make his first career start on the mound for the Tar Heels.

By Jamie Agin Staff Writer Winless in 29 matches against North Carolina in school history, Furman came to Chapel Hill on Monday night with a 2-0 record on the season and nothing to lose. Losing was the last thing on the Paladins’ minds as they Men’s Tennis Furman 4 UNC 3 left the Cone-Kenfield Indoor Tennis Center after shocking the Tar Heels 4-3. With the match even at three points apiece and Furman senior Lee Nickell leading in the decisive third set against Tar Heel ace Marcio Petrone, it was obvious that the Paladins were not look ing to leave Chapel Hill with anything but their first-ever series victory. Nickell led 1-0 in the third set when Paladin No. 5 seed Chris Henderson clinched victory against UNC’s Chad Riley 6-0,5-7,6-3 on an adjacent court After hearing the roar that came from his teammates watching from above, it became clear to Nickell that ending Furman’s 30-game winless streak against UNC (2-1) a possibility and a pressure that he welcomed. “I wanted it on me,” Nickel! said. “I felt confident today. This such a good place to play, the atmosphere, the peo ple up there. It was wonderful. “I tried to block out the crowd, because I didn’t want any added pressure, but yes, I wanted the match on my shoulders.” Nickell responded to the challenge by holding service for the entire third set while breaking Petrone’s twice to foster a 6-4,3-6, 6-4 win. Although Nickell’s victory was the one that sent his teammates into a frenzy, both sides conceded that in no way was the match decided only on center court “I knew coming in we had a very good For more information and to apply on-line, park your mouse at www.eckerd.org.

Furman duo James Cameron Senior No. 2 seed David Cheatwood won his match against Furman's James Cameron 6-3,6-2. and John Chesworth defeated Petrone and Nicholas Monroe 8-2 at the No. 1. seed. The third-seeded tandem of Charlie Lloyd and Henderson edged Tar Heels Greg Archer and Max Hilkey 8-6. At the No. 2 seed doubles, David Cheatwood and Trystan Meniane pro vided UNC with its one doubles win, defeating Patrick Fillnow and Andrew Rogers 8-6. “We have a real confidence in dou bles,” Scarpa said. “If we could carry the enthusiasm from doubles going into sin gles and play the way I have seen them play, I knew we were capable of beating a good team.” True to Scarpa’s game plan, the momentum then carried over to singles action, where along with the victories of Nickell and Henderson, No. 3 Chesworth defeated Meniane 6-3, 7-6 (7-3). UNC received solid play in its three singles victories, with Monroe defeating Fillnow 6-1, 6-3; Riley beating Henderson 6-0,5-7,6-3 and Cheatwood winning 6-3,6-0. “Personally, I probably played my best match of the season,” Cheatwood said. “But, as a team, we lost the match very poorly. It’s disappointing, but it’s still very early in the season. “But they played very well. I have to give them a lot of credit. This loss just gives us a kick in the butt and gets us motivated to go out the next time.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. [ECKERDI IV OUT HI I AUERs. vnvrs | 7
