Colin Hynek delivered the pivotal moment with a 415-foot homer off Luke Payne to erase a three-run ECU lead and tie the game at 3-3, then UNC rode the momentum to a 7-5 win, adding four runs in the fifth and sixth as it moved within one win of a third straight super regional appearance. Hynek, who transferred from Georgia State, provided the spark UNC needed to flip the result in Saturday’s winners’ bracket game at Boshamer Stadium.
UNC overcame an early 3-0 deficit to beat East Carolina 7-5 in the Chapel Hill NCAA regional. Freshman Caden Glauber worked 4.1 innings with 8 strikeouts for the win, while Walker McDuffie closed out the ninth for his sixth save. Colin Hynek delivered the game‑tying three‑run homer, Gallaher exceeded 200 career hits, and UNC moved to 2-0 in the regional, earning a spot in Sunday’s final at 5 p.m. The Heels will rely on pitching decisions from Folger Boaz and possibly McDuffie as they await the winner of ECU‑VCU to determine the path to the title.
