OMAHA, Neb. – Tim Federowicz’s two-out, ninth-inning grand slam broke a 3-3 tie and allowed second-seeded North Carolina to advance with a 7-3 victory over seventh-seeded LSU at the Men’s College World Series Friday. In the ninth, Ryan Graepel hit a one-out double into right center. Dustin Ackley, who was 4-for-4 in the game and has seven hits in the MCWS, was intentionally walked. A wild pitch put runners on second and third but a strikeout made two outs in the inning. LSU chose to walk Tim Fedroff to load the bases and Federowicz then sent a 1-1 pitch into the left field bleachers. The win moves North Carolina to 53-13 overall and puts the Tar Heels in Saturday’s 6 p.m. game against Fresno State. LSU’s season ends at 49-19-1. Before the game was suspended Thursday, North Carolina put a pair of runs on the board in the top of the first inning. Dustin Ackley singled to lead off the game and, after a strikeout, scored on Fedroff’s double into the right center gap. After the next two hitters were hit by pitches, Chad Flack walked to force home Fedroff for the second run of the inning. After one pitch to DH Garrett Gore, a lightning strike in the area halted play and after a three-hour and five-minute delay, the game was suspended. When play resumed on Friday, LSU brought in Jared Bradford to pitch, who induced an inning-ending double play that ended the North Carolina threat. LSU cut into the lead in the second inning. Two walks to lead off the inning were followed by an RBI single up the middle by D.J. LeMahieu. A pop-up and a double play, however, ended the LSU threat. North Carolina added a run in the fourth on an RBI groundout by Federowicz. LSU then tied the game in the sixth when Matt Clark belted a two-run home run into right, his 28th homer of the season. While Federowicz and Ackley were the offensive heroes, the Tar Heels used five pitchers who combined to allow just four hits while striking out 10.
