It wasn't going to be close.
Unlike in ECU's 2-1 victory in Greenville on April 17, North Carolina swung hard and often Tuesday night and took an 8-0 lead after two innings en route to a 10-1 win.
"It's not too often we can revenge a non-conference loss," said UNC center fielder Adam Greenberg. "But we were ready to jump on them this time."
Greenberg started it off with a solo home run to give UNC (34-15) a 1-0 lead in the first inning, The Tar Heels made it 2-0 after a sacrifice fly by Jeremy Cleveland.
It marked Greenberg's sixth leadoff homer this season.
"He's not a typical leadoff hitter, but it tells you what kind of talent he's got," said UNC coach Mike Fox. "He gives us so much more with his power."
In the second inning, the Tar Heels managed a six-run onslaught for an 8-0 lead. When it was finished, all UNC batters had already reached base.
Along with Greenberg and Cleveland, the Tar Heels got hits from Russ Adams and Ron Braun.
The rest was left up to UNC pitcher Whitley Benson, who got the win in his first start as a Tar Heel.
