Hutchison Throws Complete Game Shutout, Heels win 1-0
March 13, 2018 | Baseball
Chapel Hill – Rodney Hutchison threw a complete game shutout for the Tar Heels Tuesday afternoon as they defeated down North Carolina A&T, 1-0. Hutchison, who tied a career high with seven strikeouts, is the first Tar Heel to throw a complete game shutout since Zac Gallen did so against Virginia Tech in 2016.
The lone, game-winning Tar Heel run came in the bottom of the fifth inning. After a Brandon Martorano drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second on a wild pitch, Ike Freeman singled to center field to move Martorano to third while also increasing his career best hitting streak to seven games. Zack Gahagan drove home the game-winning run with a slow roller to shortstop for the second out of the inning while Martorano crossed the plate.
The Tar Heels improve to 9-7 on the season and have won its last five home games of the season. They will be back at Boshamer Stadium on Wednesday, March 14 as they face Gardner-Webb at 4 p.m.
