NC State Baseball’s Season Ends In NCAA Greenville Regional, Falling 9-2 to ECU

GREENVILLE, N.C. – No. 15 NC State baseball’s season came to a close on Sunday afternoon with a 9-2 loss to No. 9 East Carolina in the NCAA Greenville Regional at Clark-LeClair Stadium in Greenville, N.C.

Despite a solo shot by Patrick Bailey to give the Wolfpack the advantage in the first, a six-run burst by the Pirates in the third combined with a strong outing by starter LHP Jake Agnos (8 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 9 K), propelled them to win the elimination game and move on in the regional.

The Pack ends the year with a 42-19 record while ECU improves to 44-16 overall.

How It Happened

-Bailey’s two-out solo shot to left field in the first put the Pack on the board. It was his 10th of the season and he was the third person this year to reach double digits in the category.

-The Pirates scored six runs on five hits and an error in the third to take the lead. Alec Burleson’s RBI fielder’s choice with runners at the corners opened the scoring, then back-to-back outfield singles by Jake Washer and Chandler Jenkins plated a pair of runs.

-With runners at first and second Brady Lloyd drove in a run with his double to right field, and an error on the play advanced him to third while scoring another one.

-Lloyd eventually scored on a wild pitch to make it 6-1.

-Washer launched a two-run homer to right field in the seventh, extending the Pirates’ lead to seven.

-With runners at first and second in the eighth after a one-out walk and single up the middle, an RBI single to right center by Burleson brought another run across for ECU to make it 9-1.

-In his final career at-bat Edwards led off the ninth with a solo shot to right field, but it wasn’t enough to make up the late deficit. He finished with 14 long balls on the year, which was the second-most on the team.

Inside The Box Score

-Aside from Bailey and Edwards’ homers, Brad Debo and Devonte Brown both tallied base hits.

-Starter Jason Parker (4-4) was charged with the loss on the mound after going 2.1 innings and yielding two earned runs.

The Doak is getting its renovation…and NC State fans aren’t exactly loving it

I was just about to write a piece about the Doak renovation going down.

But while I was over on Twitter, I saw a ton of comments on it, all of them NC State fans, and almost all of them critical of the new look.


Look, I don’t know what’s going on here. Maybe it’ll look a lot better once it’s done, or maybe the grass will match up a lot better when it greens up. But right now, it’s a little jarring. Here is how it used to look…

And here is how it’s looking right now…

Again, I’m going to wait until it’s really done before I cast judgement, but I think the official tweet from the school marketing it and drawing attention to it, has people thinking it’s in it’s final form. And maybe it is. But I hope it’s not.

I remember this being shared a while back…

This shows grass in foul territory and dirt in the 1st/3rd baselines. So I’m not sure when this turf thing came along. And while we’re on the subject, aren’t we a turf management school? Shouldn’t we be turning up our noses at artificial turf?

Apparently, this is a thing now, where foul territories are artificial turf and fair territory is grass. Here is Mississippi State’s baseball field doing the same thing.

Can’t say I like it there either, honestly. It just seems like one of those fads. Remember when everyone was going crazy with field/court colors?

Did anyone ever really like those? Do people like them now? Have they ever gotten a recruit to come to the school? Have they ever scared a recruit away?

I don’t know. You tell me. I’ll hold final judgment, but things NC State fans don’t seem like they’re going to follow along.
