North Carolina eliminated North Carolina State 7-0 in game ten of the College World Series in Omaha. Hobbs Johnson won the pitchers duel against Carlos Rodon who tried to go after three days rest. Rodon only lasted five innings as he reached his pitch count limit but the Tar Heels had already capitalized by scoring twice. Brian Holbertson scored on a sacrifice fly by Michael Russell in the fourth which was an unearned run due to an error by Rodon earlier in the inning. Parks Jordan was hit by a pitch in the fifth and later scored on a single by Colin Moran. The Tar Heels broke it open in the eight when Russell knocked in Moran and Cody Stubbs on a single and Mike Zolk doubled to drive in Russell and Skye Bolt. North Carolina added their final run in the ninth when Jordan scored on a single by Moran. Johnson was masterful in scattering five hits over 8.1 innings.
