Tar Heels Earn 6-2 Comeback Win over UNCG
April 24, 2019 | Softball
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Despite falling behind 0-2 in the first inning, North Carolina rallied to a 6-2 win over UNCG Wednesday night in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The Spartans scored first on two-run double in the first. However, UNC fought back scoring three runs in the third and fifth innings, highlighted by Kiani Ramsey's second home run of the season to earn the win.
The Tar Heels improve to 31-15 on the season while UNCG falls to 25-19. Carolina wraps up ACC play at Louisville for a three-game series Friday through Sunday.
Key Moments
» UNCG jumped on the board in the first inning on a two-run double to center from Stephanie Bryden.
» After a scoreless second inning, Carolina took a 3-2 lead on a three-run shot by Kiani Ramsey to right. Leah Murray singled and Kristina Burkhardt reached on a hit-by-pitch before Ramsey cleared the park with her second home run this season.
» Carolina worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the third on a double-play by Megan Dray and Campbell Hutcherson. Brittany Pickett took over in relief with two on and one out in the third.
» Carolina tacked on three runs in the fifth on a pair of RBI-singles. Destiny DeBerry led off the frame with a single and Murray reached on a fielder's choice. Burkhardt lined a single to left scoring DeBerry. Dray followed suit with a two-run single to the same spot, upping Carolina's lead to four.
» The Tar Heels nearly tacked on one more run as DeBerry singled, stole second and reached third on an error. However, the Spartans kept Carolina at bay.
» UNCG singled in the seventh, but was unable to come around, finalizing the score at 6-2.
» Winning Pitcher: Brittany Pickett (18-9) // Losing pitcher: Stephanie Bryden (18-10)
Noteworthy
» Starting pitcher Hannah George went 2.1 innings with three strikeouts. Pickett fanned three Spartans in 4.2 innings in relief.
» With three stolen bases, Carolina upped its season total to 97.
» Murray is up to 101 career stolen bases – two away from breaking the UNC program record.
