Second-ranked North Carolina scored 11 runs in the bottom of the eighth to rally from a three-run deficit and claim an improbable 11-4 win Friday night over third-ranked Florida State in Cary.

The Tar Heels (37-7, 17-4 ACC) held the Seminoles (34-6, 18-4 ACC) to a season-low four hits en route to their 12th straight victory and their longest winning streak since 2002.

With Florida State holding a 3-0 lead, Carolina sent 15 men to the plate in the eighth, with 10 straight batters reaching base.

Shortstop Garrett Gore tied the score with a two-out, two-run single, and Mark Fleury drove in the go-ahead run on a bases-loaded walk in the Tar Heels' biggest offensive inning of the season.

Left fielder Kyle Shelton had the big blow, a three-run homer.

NO. 22 N.C. STATE 5, BOSTON COLLEGE 1: Clayton Shunick struck out 11 and retired 22 of the last 25 batters he faced to send host N.C. State over Boston College.

It was the 14th win in its last 18 games for the Wolfpack (28-13, 13-8 ACC). BC (20-22, 5-17) lost for the eighth time in 10 games.

Jeremy Synan capped a three-run rally in the third with a two-run homer, giving State a 4-1 lead.

MARYLAND 12, DUKE 8: Steve Braun went 4-for-6 with three RBIs, and Mike Murphy hammered a pair of two-run homers as the visiting Terrapins (26-19, 8-14 ACC) outslugged Duke.

Gabriel Saade led Duke (29-14-1, 6-14-1) with three RBIs, including a two-run homer.

EAST CAROLINA 6, PRESBYTERIAN 1: Seth Maness struck out eight and became the first freshman in school history to start 7-0 as the Pirates beat visiting Presbyterian.

Maness allowed two hits, two walks and an unearned run in 6 1/3 innings for ECU (30-13). Presbyterian is 12-28. Stephen Batts homered for ECU.
