May 18, 2018 | Baseball
Chapel Hill – The No. 6 North Carolina Tar Heels clinched the ACC Coastal Division Championship for the second consecutive year thanks to a defeat of Virginia Tech on Thursday afternoon coupled with Duke's defeat to Georgia Tech. This is the first time the Tar Heels have won back-to-back Coastal Division titles since the 2012-2013 seasons.
This is the seventh time that Carolina has won the Coastal Division. Previously, it took home the division title in 2006, 2007, 2009, 20012, 2013 and 2017.
The Tar Heels currently sit at 35-17 overall and 20-8 in the ACC, which is tied for first place overall with Clemson. This is the sixth time in the last 10 seasons the Tar Heels have won at least 20 conference games with the other seasons being 2008, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2017.
The Tar Heels will look to clinch its final ACC series of the year on Friday at 1 p.m. against Virginia Tech. The final meeting of the three-game series will take place on Saturday at 2 p.m.
Carolina is still fighting for the top overall seed in the ACC Tournament, which will be determined by the highest overall winning percentage in the conference at the end of the weekend. After clinching the Coastal, the Tar Heels will be guaranteed one of the top two seeds in the ACC Tournament.
