Lancellotti's 9th Inning Walks Off a Tar Heel Victory

Senior centerfielder Dylan Harris tied the game at 1-1 with a two-out homer in the eighth and junior Joey Lancellotti ended the game with a walk-off blast in the bottom of the ninth to give the University of North Carolina a 2-1 win over Middle Tennessee Saturday at Boshamer Stadium.

Carolina has won the first two games of the season-opening series for both teams. They play again Sunday at 1 p.m.

Lancellotti was Friday's opening-day starting pitcher and had two base hits and two RBI as the designated hitter. Today's ninth-inning blow was his first collegiate home run.
