A North Carolina batter reached base in the first five innings but none with less than one out.
North Carolina was able to get on the board in the fifth inning when Zarate belted an RBI double down the line to cut the to 3-1.
Tyler Causey became the Tar Heel's first lead-off batter on base in the seventh inning with a single to left field but was stranded at second after advancing on a single from Zarate.
Boston College scored seven runs on four hits in the seventh inning to take a 10-1 lead. Caleb Cozart, Davis Palermo and Kyle Mott combined to issue five walks in the bottom of the frame.
Never backing down, the Tar Heels chipped away at Boston College's lead with a two-run eighth inning. Eric Grintz and Jake Holtzapple each recorded pinch-hit RBIs to cut the advantage to 10-3.
