BASEBALL Canes swept for fi rst time in two years by Tar Heels

Team loses by a combined 7 runs

BY JUSTIN ANTWEIL SENIOR SPORTS WRITER

The University of Miami baseball team lost three close games by a combined margin of seven runs to UNC despite getting strong pitching efforts from their three weekend starters. The Canes were swept for the first time in over two years. The last time they lost all three games in a weekend series was ironically against North Carolina in Chapel Hill in March of 2007. No. 7 UM (26-13, 11-10) was unable to get the big hit as UNC (31-10, 13-7) opened up their new baseball stadium in style. Friday night featured a classic pitcher’s duel between sophomore Chris Hernandez and junior Alex White. Hernandez was solid in a losing effort pitching 6.2 innings, allowing just two earned runs and six strikeouts. But Hernandez was out done by the reigning ACC TYLER BENTON // Daily Tar Heel Pitcher of the Year.
