Patrick Johnson Overpowers No. 1 Virginia, 6-0
Posted May 20, 2011
As was expected a pitcher's duel broke out Thursday evening at Boshamer Stadium as No. 1 Virginia's Cody Winiarski and North Carolina's Patrick Johnson twirled five innings of shutout ball. Winiarksi would be the first to buckle as the Tar Heels exploded for five runs in the sixth inning to take the lead and Patrick Johnson went on to throw the first complete game shutout by a Tar Heel since Alex White in 2009.
