DBAP Draws Largest College Baseball Crowd in State History

With a berth in the ACC Baseball Championship Game on the line, North Carolina beat NC State 2-1 in front of a paid attendance of 11,392 at Durham Bulls Athletic Park Saturday night, the largest crowd ever to watch a college baseball game in the state. The mark ranks second on the DBAP's all-time attendance list, as the Durham Bulls and Gwinnett Braves played in front of 11,674 on July 4, 2010. The 18 inning, 6 hour marathon was also the longest game in ACC Baseball Championship history.

The previous collegiate baseball attendance record was set at the 2012 ACC Baseball Championship when the same two teams faced each other at Greensboro's NewBridge Bank Park. 10,222 fans saw the Heels edge the Wolfpack 4-0 in that game.
