CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Gavin Gallaher’s walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the ninth rescued top-seeded North Carolina, who rallied from three runs down to defeat No. 4 seed Long Island 11-8 in the Chapel Hill Regional at the NCAA Tournament on Friday night.

The Tar Heels (43-13) were down 8-5 heading in their half of the ninth after the Sharks rallied from 5-4 down with a four-run inning highlighted by Jacob Pipercic’s go-ahead three run homer.

But North Carolina was not done, especially not at home where the team went 32-2 before this latest victory.

Vance Honeycutt was hit by a pitch to start, then Casey Cook singled. Anthony Donofrio’s one-out single, his fourth hit of the game, loaded the bases. Alberto Osuna followed with an RBI single before reliever Justin DeCastro walked Luke Stevenson to force home a run and cut it to 8-7.
