And when two teams are as evenly matched as No. 7 Virginia (45-8, 22-8 ACC) and No. 2 North Carolina (47-8, 21-7 ACC), games can sometimes come down to just one bad hop.
One ball that doesnt fly quite as far as it seems like it should.
One small fielding mistake.
One base-running mistake.
And thats how it ended on Saturday...

Fox, Tar Heels not bothered by recent slide
