Heels win with three runs in the bottom of the ninth.
Jason Howell pitched 2.1 scoreless innings of relief for the win, while JMU closer Brent Metheny gave up all three runs in the ninth for the loss. Carolina, which trailed by as much as 6-2, got five runs over the final three innings for the dramatic win. Down 6-4 entering the ninth, freshman Jeremy Cleveland started UNC's rally with a leadoff double off the left field wall. Chad Prosser then drew a no-out walk and Adam Greenberg had a bunt single to load the bases. That set the stage for Adams's game-winning triple down the right field line, his first hit of the game.
