CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Due to inclement weather, the opening game of the ACC series between Duke and North Carolina was suspended in the top of the third inning as Duke was leading, 2-0, on Friday night at Boshamer Stadium Chapel Hill, N.C.

Game one of the series will resume on Saturday at noon. Saturday's game, originally scheduled for 2 p.m., has been moved to Monday night at 6 p.m.

The Blue Devils took the lead in the first frame with an RBI double off the right-field wall from graduate student Peter Matt, scoring his classmate Erikson Nichols from first. Duke doubled its lead in the second inning as redshirt junior Wil Hoyle executed a sacrifice bunt down the first-base line to bring junior Ethan Murray home.

Junior Cooper Stinson started on the mound for the Blue Devils, picking up two strikeouts in 2.0 hitless innings.

Duke returns to action on Saturday at 12 p.m.
