Titans Fall Short, 5-4, at North Carolina
Fans watched the North Carolina Aviators and the Georgia Titans fight to the finish.

The North Carolina Aviators weathered a fine game by Georgia designated hitter Dan Aldridge to upend the Titans, 5-4, at Lowe's Field at Bojangles' Stadium. Aldridge went 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winner was Nate Mulholland in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Morgan Stea took the loss.

José Peña went 1-4, while adding 2 RBI for North Carolina. With two out and the game tied in the bottom of the seventh inning, Peña, who is a two-time Best Defender Award winner, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Georgia hurler Morgan Stea, he hit a run-scoring single to give the Aviators a 5-4 lead.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Peña told the North Carolina Citizen.

North Carolina now owns a record of 23-26.
