BC HIGHLIGHTS

Freshman Jake Palomaki walked three times, extending his on-base streak to 26 games. He has drawn at least one walk in 12 of the last 16 games, including all three games against Carolina, and has walked three times in a game four times in his freshman campaign.
Sophomore Johnny Adams was one of only two BC batters to tally a hit in the game. He has a hit in nine of the last 11 games, including all three games against the Tar Heels, and has reached base safely in the last nine.
Sophomore RHP Justin Dunn pitched three scoreless innings of relief. He did not allow a hit, walked one, hit one and struck out two.

KEY PLAYS
The Heels got on the board in the second with a two-run homer and didn't look back. A two-out error in the third which extended the inning, eventually allowing in three more runs helped, along with an eight-inning shutout performance by starter RHP Benton Moss.

HOW IT HAPPENED

The Heels got on the board with two runs in the second. Junior left-handed starter Jesse Adams gave up a lead-off walk and then surrendered a home run to left center to Korey Dunbar to make it a 2-0 game. After another walk and sacrifice bunt, Adams settled in with back-to-back strikeouts to end the inning.
UNC added three runs in the third to take a 5-0 lead. Brian Miller led off with a base hit and Landon Lassiter tallied a one-out single to put two on. With two down, Dunbar grounded one to third and Palomaki misplayed it, allowing a run to come in. A walk loaded the bases and Logan Warmoth singled to left center to plate two more Tar Heels. Adams got a fly ball to get out of the inning.
The Heels tacked on a sixth run with a lead-off home run off the bat of Tyler Ramirez in the fifth.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

BC recorded four errors in the contest, marking only the second time the Eagles committed four miscues in a game. The other was a 5-1 loss to Nebraska-Omaha on Feb. 27.
For the fourth time this season, the Eagles were shut out. Each time BC could not score in a game, it was against a ranked ACC opponent.
The Eagles could not muster a victory against the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill. UNC has won all 14 meetings at Boshamer Stadium in the series history.

BC will travel to Kingston, R.I., to take on Rhode Island on Tuesday, April 28 at 3:30 p.m.
