Kyle Shelton doubled three times and drove in two runs and Chad Flack reached the 200-RBI mark for his career to help No. 2 North Carolina notch a 9-2 win Tuesday against North Florida.

The Tar Heels (39-8) held the Ospreys (26-21) to four hits. It was North Carolina's 14th win in its past 15 games.

Left fielder Shelton went 3-for-5 with two runs, and third baseman Flack was 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a sacrifice fly. Flack, who is the Heels' career leader in hits, games played and at-bats, is 14 RBIs behind the career record shared by Jarrett Shearin and Sean Farrell.

First baseman Dustin Ackley had three hits, while right fielder Tim Fedroff and shortstop Garrett Gore had two each.

Right-hander Adam Warren (7-1) earned the win for the Tar Heels. Righty Ty Prior (5-5) took the loss after allowing three runs on five hits during 1 2/3 innings.

No. 19 N.C. STATE 6, CAMPBELL 3: Marcus Jones hit an eighth-inning double off the right-field wall to drive in two runs and break a 3-3 tie, propelling N.C. State to a win at Campbell.

The Wolfpack (33-14) struggled offensively but rode stellar pitching from Eric Surkamp and Jimmy Gillheeney, who combined on a five-hitter.

Campbell (17-31) lost its eighth consecutive game.

DUKE 2, DAVIDSON 1 (10): Michael Ghizzoni squeezed home Jeremy Gould with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning against visiting Davidson.

Gould started off the inning with a single, moved to second on an error on a failed pickoff attempt at first base and went to third on a wild pitch. After Chris Kennedy struck out Gabriel Saade for the first out of the inning, Ghizzoni laid down the bunt to drive in Gould.

It was the second one-run loss to Duke (34-14-1) this season for Davidson (10-33).

UNC GREENSBORO 4, HIGH POINT 3 (10): Host UNCG tied the score in the ninth with a run off High Point closer Bubba O'Donnell. UNCG (30-19) won in the bottom of the 10th when Matt Gaski singled home Adam Deleo. Spartans reliever Greg Smith (4-1) earned the win. High Point fell to 18-26.

CHARLESTON SOUTHERN 6, FURMAN 5: Kory Morian homered and drove in a pair of runs to lead visiting Charleston Southern (16-28). Furman is 29-16.
