And another by Jarrett. 2-0

Sam working through a lot of high leverage innings tonight.

Throwing error plates one. 3-0 top 7

That might be a big run. Why it's always so important to get the ball on the ground. They have to make three plays to get you out most of the time. Catch it, throw it, then catch it again.

I dunno, looks foul to me.

ha, i thought it was fair bc it hit the line

They kept saying it was chalk, but it kinda just looked like dirt kicking up to me. They didn't show a slow enough replay to really see. Worked out I guess.

Man, thought Murr caught another one there.

Man, I hate bunting with Butler with Tresh on first. Just hit

Come on Justice, let's get an out.

Whew.

final from Doak Field at Dail Park
NC State 3
Virginia Tech 1

Big win.

.@NCStateBaseball held off a 9th-inning rally to take Game 1 over the Hokies.

This time it was Sam Highfill (6.2 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 6 K) and Evan Justice (2.1 IP, ER, 2 H, 4 K) combining on the mound.

So it will probably start at Game Time

So it looks like it is the TV spot that is keeping these games from being moved around the weather? That's dumb, I'd rather watch on the app anyway.

my speculation no one has confirmed or denied or offered alternative reasons

Due to inclement weather in the area, NC State baseball's series with Virginia Tech has been altered. Saturday's game will not be played, and the teams will now play a doubleheader at 12 and 4 p.m. Sunday at Doak Field at Dail Park.

Game one of the doubleheader will be broadcast on the ACC Network Extra and will be the team's annual #StrikeOutALS game, while the second game will air as scheduled on the ACC Network. There will additionally be a free audio stream on WKNC 88.1 and the TuneIn App for both games Sunday.

Purchased tickets for Saturday will be refunded in the coming days and Sunday's ticket will be good for both games.

Thanks for sharing that again Wolfer.

Any word yet on who the starters are?

probably not released until around 1145 when radio pregame starts

I think Virginia Tech will go with pitcher scheduled to on Saturday in game 1 today

RHP Anthony Simonelli (VT)
Anthony Simonelli has earned seven starts, including a team-best four wins, in as many appearances on the mound and owns a 3.47 ERA.

Starting Pitchers

NC State: RHP Reid Johnston (3-2, 4.37 ERA, 38 K, 13 BB, 45.1 IP)

Virginia Tech: RHP Anthony Simonelli (4-0, 3.47 ERA, 40 K, 16 BB, 36.1 IP)

Good to know Reid isn't injured

Reid looked good. Maybe some gamesmanship is switching up the rotation order?

Also surprised Villaman is getting the call up 10-1 with another game today. You'd think you'd want to save him for game 3.

I'm confused.
