North Carolina baseball clinched the series against No. 2 Florida State on Friday night.
The No. 4-ranked Tar Heels (39-11, 18-10 ACC) entered the final regular season series with postseason implications — ACC and NCAA — on the line. The trip to Tallahassee is arguably the tallest task to date for UNC, and with the way the conference and national landscape sets up, it will more than likely hold the most weight as well.
The Diamond Heels stole game one in a Jake Knapp masterclass. The ace starting pitcher mowed down Seminole hitters in his eleventh victory this season (11-0), as North Carolina dominated and won 8-3.
