CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – On a sunny senior day at Boshamer Stadium, one of the honorees led the way as Colin Hynek's three RBIs helped Carolina baseball to a 7-3 win over Pitt on Sunday afternoon.

The No. 2 Tar Heels (40-9-1, 20-7 ACC) completed their first conference home sweep of the season to reach the 40-win mark for the third year in a row and 27^th time in program history. It is the fourth time to 40 under head coach Scott Fobes in his six seasons at the helm.

The victory is also the 20^th ACC win of the year for Carolina, who hit that benchmark for the 10^th time in their history. UNC is the only school in conference history to hit the double digit mark.

Folger Boaz got the start and put together one of his most efficient outings of the season. In his 4.1 innings the junior lefty racked up eight strikeouts, his highest total of the last two seasons. He got four of the punchouts looking, tied for his most this year.

Freshman Caden Glauber continued along his historic rookie season, improving to 7-0 with 3.1 frames of shutout work with two strikeouts and only one hit. His classmate Jackson Rose came in to finish off the game and picked up his first career save.

Carolina's offense got started quickly thanks to a double from Gavin Gallaher that was followed by a Macon Winslow two RBI single in the bottom of the first. Pitt would not go quiet though, scoring a run in the second and fourth to tie things up.

Then up stepped Hynek, who delivered singles in the sixth and seventh innings that drove in a trio of runs to put the game out of reach. The Georgia State transfer had been struggling a bit coming off a strong start to the season, but three hits and a run scored in addition to his RBIs will help get things going back in the right direction. Overall in the series against the Panthers he hit .400 with a .955 OPS.

Erik Paulsen drove in Carolina's final run of the afternoon as part of his three-hit day. The Tar Heel first baseman also finished the weekend with a .400 average.

The Tar Heels have a road week ahead with a matchup against UNCW on Tuesday before a weekend series against NC State in Raleigh. First pitch in Wilmington is set for 6 p.m.
