10 THURSDAY. APRIL ‘24. 2008 Tar Heels blast Panthers BY POWELL LATIMER ASSISTANT SPORTS EOITOR CARY The rain let up. but North Carolina’s bats did not. Intermittent showers turned the No. 2 Tar 1 leels’ matchup with High Pbint into a sloppy defensive affair or that eould have been a result of the craters left in the outfield from the shell ing UNC hitters dished out in the 10-5 win. It started in BASEBALL High Point 5 UNC 10 the bottom of the fourth inning. With the game tied at one. High Point starting pitcher Ryan Basham hit first Chad Flack and then Tim Federowicz to put two Tar Heels on base. Then freshman Brett Thomas in his first start of the year got some of his 6-foot -4 frame behind a pitch for an RBI single to give UNC the lead. “Never once have you heard him complain about not playing or not swinging the bat.' Flack said. “It takes a high level of concentration to do that without seeing pitching all the time." Thomas later would score follow- • Are you currently experiencing SS PA,N ® Wliv around one or both of your lower (|f|^ WISDOM TEETH?

High Point (16-24) then brought in reliever RJ Chiebnikow to stop the bombardment, but Gore scored on a series of missed throws to complete the four-run inning. Just like that, the Tar Heels (36- 7) were up 5-1 —a lead they did not relinquish. “The main thing is that you've got to put hits together. You can’t get one nr two hits here and there and leave the two guys on base," Flack said. “I think it was some timely hitting today." UNC kept up its siege of the out field in the fifth inning. First, Tim Fedroflf singled on the opening pitch of the inning the third-straight leadoff hitter on base for UNC. Then Flack sent a frozen-rope into left field on the first pitch he saw as well. Just to round things out. second baseman Kyle Seager brought in his league-leading 60th RBI on UNC’s third consecutive single. Then came the cherry on top as two more runs came in on another blunder to make the score 8-4. From then on. the Tar Heels could cruise toward the win on the strength of relievers Colin Bates and Brian Moran, who completely shut down the High Pbint attack. Moran's sliders and fastballs always seem to find the strike zone. “Asa reliever, if you come in and throw strikes consistently you’re j going to have a lot of success." said starter Mike Facchinei. who gave up one earned run in 4.2 innings of work. “You'd be amazed at how well you can do if you just threw strikes." Wednesday's game, combined with Tuesday's 17-0 shellacking of Charlotte, gives UNC plenty' of con fidence heading into it’s weekend j series with No. 3 Florida State. “I think people are still question- ! ing how good we are* or we aren’t ... we’ve kind of been down that road j before." coach Mike Fox said. “I don’t think confidence has been an issue. I think that the mystique of us playing the Florida States and the Miamis has been erased the past couple of years."
