CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Members of the UNC baseball, softball as well as the men's and women's lacrosse teams gathered at Anderson Stadium Sunday afternoon for the third annual "Lax Ball Heel-O-Ween" fundraiser with all proceeds benefiting the UNC Children's Hospital.

The men's lacrosse and softball teams comprised one squad, and women's lacrosse and baseball made up the other. The teams faced off for a seven-inning game of "Lax Ball," a baseball/softball hybrid played with a tennis ball, which ended in a 15-15 tie.

"It was Coach [Joe] Breschi's vision, and we've got a lot of people working on it," UNC women's lacrosse coach Jenny Levy said.
