CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina will be without junior point guard Joel Berry for Wednesday nights game against Davidson, but the Tar Heels should have plenty of options to make it through the short term.You dont want to see your teammate get hurt like that, especially Joel, who has been a big leader for us, forward Isaiah Hicks said. But Coach (Roy Williams) says North Carolina has got to play. We can worry about him when we are not playing, but when we are playing we got to try to win.The seventh-ranked Tar Heels (8-1) take on Davidson (5-2) at the Smith Center.With Berry out, the extra court time is likely to go to senior guard Nate Britt, who has been a part-time starter on the wing, and freshman Seventh Woods. Williams said Tuesday afternoon that he hasnt decided on wholl be in the starters role.Woods said he has been frustrated at times, but it has been a time for learning.You have Joel and Nate, two veteran point guards, and Ive learned a lot from just sitting on the bench watching them, and from going against them in practice, Woods said.Berry suffered a sprained left ankle Sunday in the second half of a romp past Radford. His status for next Sundays game against Tennessee remains uncertain.Berry is the Tar Heels second-leading scorer with 14.8 points per game. He was the Most Valuable Player of the Maui Invitational last month.Woods played 22 minutes against Radford, though he said the time was tainted by his five turnovers.I looked at it as an opportunity, he said.The Tar Heels seem relieved that the extent of Berrys injury doesnt appear severe.Joel is tough, Hicks said. Hes going to be all right. We dont have to baby him a lot.Meanwhile, North Carolina junior swingman Theo Pinson had X-rays Monday that showed the broken bone in his right foot is healing as expected. He suffered the injury Oct. 26, with the timetable for his return coming after eight to 12 weeks. He hasnt yet been cleared for running and jumping.Davidson failed to protect an 11-point, second-half lead in Sundays 76-61 loss at College of Charleston.The Wildcats fell short, according to veteran coach Bob McKillop, because of decisions, details and discipline.They made us make some bad decisions, McKillop said.McKillop said it was the first time that the Wildcats had a sizable margin and had it taken away this season. He said he hopes the experience is something to learn from.We did not respond to it, he said. Its part of the process.North Carolina has a 64-11 all-time advantage in the series against Davidson, which has lost its last seven meetings with the Tar Heels. This marks the fourth season in a row that the teams will face each other.After traveling to New Orleans, Hawaii and Indiana across the first few weeks of the season, Williams said the Tar Heels should benefit from practice time without boarding a plane for the next game.All of a sudden you think a little bit about helping your team get better, but you also have to start talking about another opponent, he said.

Yes, the 87 degree temperature made it a bit uncomfortable for the 250-pounder. On the positive side, the conditions served to make split-finger fastball virtually unhittable. Garcia pitched eight innings of three-hit ball to get the best of Dan Haren in a duel of veteran right-handers, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Washington Nationals 2-0 Thursday night. Nick Markakis hit an RBI double in the third inning and Manny Machado doubled in a run in the eighth for the Orioles, who took three of four from the Nationals in a home-and-home series that began Monday in Washington. Making his sixth start for Baltimore, Garcia (2-2) struck out six, walked none and permitted only two runners past first base. The 36-year-old retired 17 of the first 19 batters he faced, including 14 straight after Adam LaRoche and Ian Desmond each singled to open the second inning, and concluded his performance with seven consecutive outs. "When its hot like that," Garcia said, "the splitters pretty good." The Nationals went down in order in six of eight innings against Garcia, who changed his jersey two or three times during the course of the game, according to Orioles manager Buck Showalter. "I think with the humidity, his fingers probably had a little sweat going on there," Desmond said. "That (split) was pretty unbelievable tonight, and he threw it a lot. He must have thrown 60 per cent split fingers, which is very out of the ordinary." Signed as a free agent by Baltimore in late March, Garcia toiled in the minors until being summoned by the Orioles on May 4. He has proven to be a very welcome addition to a team striving to reach the playoffs for a second straight season. "He had his A game today," Machado said. "He brought out what he could do for this ballclub to help us win. He pitched a (heck) of a game, had all his pitches right." Jim Johnson worked a perfect ninth for his 17th save, the second in two nights. Haren (4-6) allowed two runs and eight hits over 7 1-3 innings but absorbed his third straight loss. The 32-year-old struck out five and walked none. "t;I threw the ball well, but obviously Im not happy with the end result," he said.dddddddddddd The pitching duel came after the neighbouring teams combined for 35 runs, 65 hits and 14 homers in the previous three games. "Both pitchers threw really, really well tonight," Baltimores Nate McLouth said. "I dont think there was a walk in the game. That shows you, if you throw strikes, what can happen. They both pitched amazing." The Orioles went up 1-0 in the third inning when Ryan Flaherty singled, took second on a single by Machado and scored on a two-out double by Markakis. Haren then struck out Adam Jones with runners at second and third. "I was walking the tightrope in that one inning and made a good pitch to Adam Jones to get out of it," Haren said. Washington, meanwhile, got only one runner past first base in the first six innings. In the second, after the singles by LaRoche and Desmond, both runners advanced on a groundout by Tyler Moore. Chad Tracy followed with a short fly ball to left and Kurt Suzuki popped out. That began Garcias run of 14 successive outs. It ended when Roger Bernadina singled with two outs in the sixth, but Ryan Zimmerman followed with a harmless grounder to second base. In the eighth, McLouth hit a bloop to short right field and hustled into second for a double. Machado then chased Haren with a sharp grounder inside the third base line, his league-leading 25th double.
