DeCaro pitched a complete game, striking out eight, and allowing only two hits and one walk in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Collin Hynek went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run and two runs scored for fourth-ranked North Carolina (49-12-1).<\/p>\n<p>USC started Grant Grovel, who gave up a home run to Hynek in the second inning and left the game after five innings trailing 1-0.
