Trailing 6-1 in the bottom of the 8th, Stanford came storming back with a bases-clearing double from freshman, Austin Wilson, to close the gap to 6-5. With runners on 1st and 2nd and only one out, senior catcher, Zach Jones, hit into an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play to end the rally.
With two outs and a runner on third in the top of the 9th, Mother Nature arrived prompting a 3 12 hour rain delay. When the game resumed, Reed walked Tommy Coyle and allowed an RBI single to Jacob Stallings, as North Carolina extended their lead to 7-5.
