Shortstop Josh Horton and catcher Benji Johnson each hit solo home runs, and junior right-hander Daniel Bard and two relievers combined on a five-hitter to lead No. 1 North Carolina to a 7-1 win over Duke Sunday at Jack Coombs Field. The Tar Heels (39-8, 18-6 ACC) have swept three straight Atlantic Coast Conference series and have won 10 straight league games for the first time since a 12-game streak over the 1983-84 seasons.
