NC State Sets Program Shutout Record in 27-0 Rout of Richmond

No. 14 NC State put on a clinic Tuesday afternoon, shutting out Richmond 27-0 in Raleigh.

The performance marked the 58th time in program history that the Wolfpack has scored 20 or more runs in a game, and the 35th time under head coach Elliott Avent.

The 27-run outburst is tied for the fifth-most runs ever scored in a single game in school history.

But here’s the headline within the headline:

It set a new program record for most runs scored in a shutout victory.
