Chapel Hill: Just Like That

By Bryan Graham - June 02, 2006

After stranding a pair of runners in the second inning, Maine made sure not to squander another scoring opportunity in the third.

Trailing by a single run after Carolina's Seth Williams sacrificed home Jay Cox in the bottom of the second, the Black Bears put a pair of runners on the bags when Matt McGraw reached on an error and Joel Barrett walked. Curt Smith, the team's slugging leader (.582), drove home McGraw with a stand-up double that evened the score at one apiece.

Then, with runners on second and third, Kevin McAvoy knocked a home run to left-center that gave Maine a 4-1 advantage and silenced the crowd.
