Live Looks: 2026 Chapel Hill Super Regional Game 2

The Heels struck first in the 2nd with a homer down over the left field wall off the bat of catcher Colin Hynek. North Carolina squandered a bases-loaded opportunity in the 3rd and a first-and-third situation in the 5th.

That was the end of the line for USC starter Gavin Govel, who worked 5 brilliant innings. They turned to lefty Sax Matson, who found success in the Texas A&M regional, but today he was greeted with a solo homer by Erik Paulson. UNC tacked on another with a sac fly to extend the Heels' lead to 3-0.
