RALEIGH – No. 17 NC State baseball came up short in its midweek contest with Campbell on Tuesday evening at Doak Field at Dail Park, 5-3.

The Wolfpack held a two-run lead until the fourth, when the Camels scored all five of its runs. The Pack managed to tack on a run in the eighth with the bases loaded, and loaded the bags up again in the ninth, but couldn’t produce any runs.

NC State falls to 37-13 on the year while Campbell improves to 28-16 overall.

Quick Hits

-NC State struck in the second inning on Luca Tresh’s sac fly to right field. Tyler McDonough led off with a single through the right side, and Brad Debo followed up with a double down the right field line to put runners in scoring position.

-With runners at the corners after Debo advanced to third in the sac fly and Cooper drew a walk, a J.T. Jarrett RBI groundout to third plated the other run in the second.

-The Camels got on the board in the fourth, stringing together four hits to score as many runs. Zach Minnick’s single up the middle plated the first run, and Grant Harris’s homer to right field drove in the other three.

-Additionally, AJ Hrica’s sac fly to center field tacked on the Camels’ fifth run of the side.

-Tresh tallied his other RBI on the night with a bases-loaded walk in the eighth, cutting the Pack’s deficit to two.

-The Pack once again loaded the bases up in the ninth, putting the game-winning run on first with two down, but a fly out by McDonough to deep right center ended the threat.

Inside The Box Score

-McDonough went 2-for-4 at the plate for his team-leading 22nd multi-hit game of the year.

-Wilson also collected two hits in his four at-bats on the night.

On The Mound

-Starting pitcher Alec Barger (2-1) suffered his first loss of the year on the mound, giving up four earned runs on six hits.

-The Pack’s bullpen of Baker Nelson, Evan Justice and Cameron Cotter combined to allow just two hits and no runs to score. The trio also fanned a combined six batters.

#20 NC State Falls to #7 FSU 1-8 in Sunday Afternoon Bout

The 20th ranked NC State Baseball team lost to #7 FSU 1-8 on the road this afternoon. After yesterday’s game was cancelled due to weather, the Wolfpack head back to Raleigh splitting the series with the Seminoles.

Sophomore Dominic Fritton gave up 5 earned runs in 4.1 innings pitched, walking 4. Senior Logan Whitaker made his return from injury, and gave up 3 earned runs in 1 inning pitched, walking 3. The Wolfpack bullpen wouldn’t allow another run the rest of the way, but their bats simply couldn’t muster any runs against FSU’s Dorsey and Hults.

The Wolfpack wasn’t without their offensive opportunities. They had 7 hits, which matched FSU’s total. NC State left 10 runners on base, while the Seminoles left 7.

Senior 3rd Baseman Alec Makerewicz and Sophomore 2nd Baseman Matt Heavner both had 2 hits. Part of the Wolfpack’s problem, was the fact that only 1 of their 7 hits was an extra-base hit, and that was a Double by A-Mak. Makerewicz is batting .356 on the year.

Despite the loss, NC State heads into this week having clinched a spot in the 2024 ACC Tournament.

With a 13-10 ACC record, the Wolfpack currently sit 3rd in the Atlantic Division.

NC State will host Norfolk St. in a midweek game on Tuesday night at 7pm, and then will hit the road for a series against #11 Virginia next weekend.

#20 NC State upset #7 Florida St. 8-7 in the series opener down in Tallahassee this evening.

Freshman Cooper Consiglio was the hero on the mound this evening, coming in after Senior Sam Highfill and Sophomore Shane Van Dam, pitching 4.1 innings, while giving up only 1 earned run and striking out 5. It was probably Consiglio’s best performance of his collegiate career, marking the first time he’s ever pitched 4 innings, and given up 1 run or less. He now is 2-4 on the year with a 5.66 ERA.

Sophomore Derrick Smith picked up his 4th Save of the year, failing to give up a hit in 1.2 innings pitched, while striking out 3.

Junior Catcher Jacob Cozart got things started off for the Wolfpack in the Top of the 2nd hitting his 9th Home Run in the past 9 games, and his 15th of the year.

Sophomore 2nd Baseman Matt Heavner led the Pack with 2 RBI’s tonight. The first followed Cozart’s bomb, hitting a Single in the Top of the 2nd that scored Sophomore Left Fielder Luke Nixon. Then Junior Chase Nixon hit a Single, and 2 NC State runners scored due to a wild throw.

Then in the Top of the 3rd, Heavner knocked in another run with a Sac Bunt, that scored Luke Nixon.

Then Sophomore Center Fielder Eli Serrano III hit an RBI Single that scored Chase Nixon, giving the Wolfpack a 6-2 lead.

In the Top of the 6th, Senior 3rd Baseman Alec Makarewicz hit a solo Home Run, his 18th of the season.

In the same inning, Junior Shortstop Brandon Butterworth scored on a wild pitch, giving the Wolfpack their 8th run of the evening.

Senior starting Pitcher Sam Highfill was only able to pitch 2 innings, giving up 2 earned runs. Sophomore Shane Van Dam continues to struggle in relief, giving up 3 earned runs in 1 inning. His ERA is now up to 5.17. Van Dam left the game with an injury, which might have led to his exit.

The Wolfpack and the Seminoles will play Game 2 tomorrow at 7pm.
