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. Advertisement 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. Advertisement 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.
