UNC baseball dominates Campbell as 2025 regular season wraps up
As the UNC baseball team wraps up the regular season portion of its 2025 schedule, the race for a top seed in NCAA Regionals heats up.
North Carolina, currently third in a loaded ACC, welcomed in-state rival Campbell University to Boshamer Stadium on Tuesday night. The Camels are in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament for a second-consecutive year, but still posed a solid challenge to the Diamond Heels.
Only leading Campbell 3-1 after the fifth inning, UNC distanced itself with seven runs in the succeeding two innings, winning 10-1 for its fourth-straight victory.
Though Jason DeCaro enjoyed another strong outing for North Carolina (36-10, 15-9 ACC), earning the win with six strikeouts and one run through five innings, the Diamond Heels' bullpen was perfect. Ryan Lynch relieved DeCaro with two perfect innings, Camron Seagraves struck out all three batters he faced in the eighth, then Cale Bolton tossed a perfect ninth.
Every UNC batter had either a hit, run or RBI, with designated hitter Rom Kellis leading the charge. Kellis mashed three hits in four plate appearances, driving in three runs and scoring twice more. Kellis' 2-run, sixth-inning extended North Carolina's advantage to 5-1, he drove in Alex Madera on a seventh-inning, then later scored on a wild pitch.
Madera opened the Diamond Heels' scoring barrage in the third inning, scoring on a throwing error by Campbell second baseman Jonah Oster. UNC capitalized on its opportunities at the dish, scoring 10 runs on nine hits.
North Carolina now enters its toughest stretch to close out its regular season, playing its final two series against NC State (May 8, 9, 11) and Florida State (May 15, 16, 17), the lone two teams ahead of North Carolina in the ACC standings. In between both series, the Diamond Heels will face UNC-Wilmington May 13, in their final home game.

Notre Dame football to host Chicago 2027 4-star cornerback Tavares Harrington this fall
Notre Dame football has had great success recruiting its neighboring state of Illinois, and in the 2027 cycle they are trying to continue that trend. Tavares Harrington, a 6-foot, 3-inch and 175-pound cornerback announced on Wednesday what his plans will be for this fall, and will be in South Bend as the Irish take on Texas A&M on Sept. 13th according to Rivals. He's one of the nation's top players, as the 247Sports Composite has him as the No. 99 overall prospect in the 2027 class.

Steelers defender reveals season-ending injury on social media
The injury news in Pittsburgh keeps coming — and you can't help but feel for Steelers DT Dean Lowry, who took to social media to reveal his season-ending ACL injury. While Lowry was placed on the Reserve/Injured List a few days prior, it was his message on Instagram that caught fans' attention — one of understanding that there are risks required when playing football. "During a training camp practice last week I sustained an ACL injury that will likely end my season," Lowry wrote on Instagram. "Hard to comprehend the thoughts and emotions I have felt since then. Heartbroken I won't get to fully experience the highs and lows of an NFL season with a group I love going to work with. The risks associated with this game and the unique aspect of a football team are what make this sport like no other. I'm completely resolved to turn this negative into a positive with gratitude each step of the way." The nine-year veteran signed with the Steelers back in April 2024 on a two-year deal — providing Pittsburgh with capable, experienced depth on the defensive line. While Lowry tries to find the positives, we at Steelers Wire hope he can bounce back in a major way when recovered next season — potentially earning his way back onto the Steel City roster.
