The home team broke the game open in in the fourth, with Ashton McGee's three-run homer doing most of the damage in a four-run frame.

In the sixth, the Terps put two on, but stranded runners on the corner when senior Madison Nickens struck out to end the inning. North Carolina grabbed a single run in the seventh
