ON DECK
March 23 @ UNCW 6 PM

Must win.

NC State baseball (4-9) will make its first road trip of the season Tuesday when it travels to UNCW (12-5) for a midweek contest. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. at Brooks Field in Wilmington, N.C., and the game will be broadcast on FloSports.TV ($).

There will additionally be a free audio stream on WKNC 88.1 and the TuneIn App.

STARTING PITCHERS
LHP David Harrison (NCSU) vs. RHP Jacob Shafer (UNCW)
SCOUTING UNCW
The Seahawks managed to avoid a series sweep at William and Mary on Sunday thanks to a 4-1 win in its last time out. Before dropping its doubleheader to the Tribe on Saturday, the squad was on a five-game win streak which was highlighted by a midweek win over No. 7 East Carolina on March 17.

UNCW was tabbed the preseason favorite for the South division of the Colonial Athletic Association, while Landen Roupp, Cole Weiss, Noah Bridges, Adam Smith and Luke Gesell all received preseason recognition from the conference.

Heading into Tuesday, starting pitcher Jacob Shafer owns a 5.23 ERA and has made two starts in his three appearances. In his 10.1 innings pitched on the year, he has tallied six strikeouts and has only yielded one walk.

Offensively, UNCW leads the CAA in eight different categories and is averaging 9.52 hits per game. Kip Brandenburg paces the team with a .391 clip while Brooks Baldwin owns a team-best 25 hits, eight doubles and five homers.

.@NCStateBaseball has a chance to end its 5-game losing streak tomorrow with a trip to UNCW but pitching could be what sets the two teams apart. Team ERA:

Seahawks: 3.62
Wolfpack: 6.92

Nice win. Let's get back on track and take out the Holes.

Cool. Thanks.

Nice to see Fenney and Klyman close it out after their recent troubles.

Murr might be most important player on team with his defense at 1B and hitting ability/gap power. Glad he is back.

Anyone know about Johnny Butler- injury or Covid-19??

I know

Will JB be back soon?

Still going to be awhile

Avent told us Saturday he's out of C19 protocol, but he's still got some things to do to get back. I saw him running the base paths during pre-game in Wilmington, so he's with the team. I'd say it's about 50-50 that he's playing in Chapel Hill this weekend.
