UNC Baseball dominates No. 12 Virginia to make ACC semifinals behind Jake Knapp, offensive explosion

Posted May 25, 2023
Neither UNC nor Virginia started their top pitchers, but Tar Heels right-hander Jake Knapp performed like an ace on a day when UNC poured on the offense. Knapp struck out five in 5 2/3 innings as No. 7-seed UNC beat No. 12-ranked and No. 2-seed Virginia 10-2 to earn a spot in Saturday’s ACC tournament semifinals to snap the Cavaliers’ 10-game win streak.
