Carolina blows three-run lead for first three-game losing streak

Posted Apr 19, 2024
The only positive, but a great source of frustration, in No. 11 North Carolina’s first three-game losing streak is that all three were one-run games that could have gone either way. The Tar Heels bullpen blew a three-run lead built off an impressive start from junior left-hander Shea Sprague as N.C. State clinched a series win with a 5-4 victory Friday at Doak Field.
