Top Storylines
• North Carolina enters the weekend after falling in two out of three games to No. 19 Pitt and a 6-3 loss to Coastal Carolina.
• Roberts hit two home runs in game three versus Pitt. It marked the third time this season that Roberts homered twice in the same game. He became the first Tar Heels to homer multiple times in three different games since Dustin Ackley did it five times in 2009.
• The 21 runs against Duke were their most since scoring 21 in a win over Virginia Tech on April 12, 2013. They were also tied for their most against Duke since Mike Fox's first season as head coach in 1999.
• Brett Centracchio hit two home runs in the fifth inning against Duke in game three, making him the first Tar Heel to hit two homers in an inning since Chris Maples did so on March 23, 2002, against Florida State.
• The Tar Heels pace the ACC and rank 17th in the country in home runs with 46.Â
• In Caden O'Brien's return to the mound after a hiatus due to COVID protocols, he tossed 2.1 innings, which yielded no hits, no walks, and two strikeouts.
• UNC junior Joey Lancellotti will miss the rest of the 2021 baseball season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last week. Lancellotti made four appearances for the Tar Heels this season with an ERA of 2.45.
• In Zarate's absence, Dallas Tessar has gone 10-for-26 with three doubles and two home runs – including a solo shot Tuesday that extend his hitting streak to a career-best eight games.
• Scott Forbes is the only first-year head coach among Power 5 conference programs in 2021.
• Scott Forbes took the reigns from Mike Fox on Aug. 7, 2020, who wrapped up a legendary 22-year career at Carolina. He becomes just the fifth head coach of the Tar Heel baseball program since 1931.
