Spider Baseball Falls to No. 10 North Carolina
02/17/2026 | Baseball
CHAPEL HILL, NC – The Richmond Spiders fell to No. 10 North Carolina, 10-0, in seven innings at Boshamer Field Tuesday.
Richmond moves to 2-2 on the season and is back in action Wednesday, hosting James Madison at Pitt Field. First pitch is set for 1:30 p.m. on ESPN+.
Spider starter Chayse Gruber held the TarHeels to just two runs in the first inning, but North Carolina came back in the second to put a 6-spot on the board. The Heels hit two three-run home runs in the second off the Spiders. UNC added a single run in the third to push their lead to 9-0.
In the top of the third, Jackson Kraemer and Noah Haught picked up back-to-back base hits. Dylan Winebrenner put the ball in play, extending the inning when the TarHeels misplayed the throw to third going for the force out. UNC got out of the bases loaded situation with a strikeout.
Michael Elko doubled and Ryan Recio followed with an infield hit in the fourth to tally the Spiders other two hits of the game.
In the bottom of the fourth Dylan Siesky retired UNC in order, forcing two ground outs and collecting a strikeout to end the inning. Rookie Christian Dray followed with his own 1-2-3 outing on the mound, striking out the first batter he faced as a collegiate pitcher in the fifth inning.
Making his collegiate debut in the sixth, Keane Hyer worked around a hit and a walk to keep UNC off the board for a third straight frame.
UNC got their 10th run in the bottom of the seventh, scoring on a wild pitch.
