No. 1 North Carolina (45-6, 20-5 ACC) dropped its first series of the year on Sunday as the Tar Heels suffered a 9-8 loss in 11 innings against Georgia Tech (32-20, 14-13 ACC) in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Carolina jumped out to a 7-1 lead after five and a half innings but the Yellow Jackets would not go quietly as they pushed across a pair of runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh to climb within three at 8-5.<\/p>\n

Holding an 8-5 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth the Tar Heels were three outs away from the series win but Georgia Tech would mount another rally and force extra innings where Zane Evans singled home the game-winning run in the 11th inning.<\/p>\n

Carolina will look to bounce back on Tuesday, May 14 when it hosts Appalachian State at 6 p.m. at Boshamer Stadium.<\/p>\n
