CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Gardner-Webb University baseball team dropped their midweek game at the #15 ranked University of North Carolina on Tuesday night by a final score of 5-2. The Runnin' Bulldogs put up two early runs before the Tar Heels chipped away to regain and keep the lead.

In the fifth inning the Tar Heels began their comeback tying the game with a double and a single. UNC went on to take a 3-2 lead on a sac fly in the sixth, and scored two more insurance runs in the seventh inning.
