2008 - First baseman Justin Smoak put on a power display in a 14-4 win over USC Upstate, as he tied school records for home runs in a game (three) and RBI (nine). Smoak homered in the third, fourth and seventh innings and all three shots came with two men on base. Smoak was the second player to homer three times in a game during the 2008 season as 3B James Darnell did it twice earlier that year. Freshman Sam Dyson was the winning pitcher, improving to 4-0, while Reese Havens and Phil Disher also contributed home runs. Carolina improved to 26-10 with the win.
