Grab some bench, honey.

Softball took two from UNC on Saturday; the Heels didn't manage to score a run in either game. The Wolfpack have won 14 straight, shutting opponents out in each of the last five games.

The pitching in those five shutouts:
 IP   H   R  ER  BB  SO
5.0 0 0 0 2 6
7.0 0 0 0 0 14
7.0 2 0 0 1 9
7.0 3 0 0 2 7
7.0 1 0 0 2 7
-----------------------
33.0 6 0 0 7 43
Those last two lines are the Carolina games. Six hits allowed in 33 innings pitched...that's absurd even considering the fact that three of the five games were played against patsies.

Here's the aggregate pitching line from the 14-game winning streak:
 IP    H   R  ER  BB   SO
94.0 42 10 8 26 124
More than nine strikeouts per seven innings, a K:BB ratio of nearly 5.0:1, and a 0.60 ERA.
