Averaging 15 runs per game so far isn't too shabby. Lets bump it up to 20 just to be safe.

This team is electric.

tommy white is a cheat code.

anyone know how old is he? do we get him for 2 years or 3?

---

According to PG, Tommy was 18 and 4 months at the time of the draft last year. If that's accurate then we have him for 3 years.

really nice outing by silver. nasty stuff. some nice LHP outings so far

hopefully we can let a young arm throw the 8th and let villaman take the 9th to get some work

Wolfpack Nation, you're unreal. It's a crowd this afternoon.

nice 4 outs for c. silver. always thought he was better than his numbers would indicate. just a weird lefty that seems tough to time. even though he gave up a single, he certainly wasn't barreled

that being said, i think 2ish innings should be his cap. when teams start to see him, it seems like that's when he gets hit some

---

yup, here it is. 2.2 innings and now he goes from a great outing to a 6.75 ERA (but still out there)

really cool to see logan whitaker get an appearance. 1st of his career right?

That Ledford team his senior year was nasty.

Whitaker
Villaman
Soles

That's some serious talent for a 2-A school.

I've had the game on mute mostly but who is doing the color today? I know it's a former player but didn't catch the name.

Wish they could have played New Hanover that year (4a vs 2a, but still)

Walston
Nixon
kyle smith (UNC then somewhere else)
jac croom (UNCW)

Thx. He's doing a good job, IMO.

Pilolli needs to get healthy.

More concentration stuff. Ugh.

Defense really struggling.

kinda like silver, his stat line wont indicate how solid whitaker looked. no real hard contact against him. nibbled a little too much on the corners and ugly defense.

but a W is a W.

final
NC State 6
Evansville 4

W is a W!

Got to clean up the defense but we are 2-0 so keep going. Still very early in the season.

Whiteville (who Ledford beat in the 2A finals) played New Hanover that year and lost 14-8. I bet Ledford would've played them closer.

Mike Roberts (former unc baseball coach/Brian's dad) always told me that he would take some 2A teams and easily beat some 4A teams.






Good win Pack!

Silver pitched well but just made one mistake. His stat line also won't look great, but he pitched pretty good.

.@NCStateBaseball rode a Tommy White grand slam to a series-clinching 6-4 win over Evansville.

White is a Gap to Gap hitter also

Have to clean up the D as you will not win close games like that

No. 7 NC State baseball held off a late rally on Saturday afternoon at Doak Field at Dail Park, clinching its series over Evansville with a 6-4 victory.

With a 6-0 lead heading into the final two innings the Purple Aces plated two runs apiece in an attempt to rally back and even the series, but the Pack managed to clinch its 18th consecutive nonconference series win and 11th-straight opening series win.

After three scoreless innings to start the contest, the Aces looked to get on the board in the fourth with the bases loaded on two outs, but third baseman Josh Hood made an incredible diving play to get the Pack out of the side unscathed.

NC State took the momentum into the bottom frame when Noah Soles drove in the first run of the day with a high chopper single. The lead was then doubled when Devonte Brown hit a single up the middle with runners at the corners to tally his fourth RBI of the weekend.

In the sixth inning, Tommy White tanked a grand slam to center field and extend the lead 6-0. On the weekend, White is 7-for-10 at the plate with 10 runs batted in, including four home runs.

The Aces plated two runs in the eighth via a Tanner Craig two-run home run to left field, then Evan Berkey drove in two runs in the ninth with a two-out outfield single to put the game-tying run on deck, but a fly out to Soles in right field sealed the victory.

On the mound, Matt Willadsen battled for 4.2 innings and fanned six while limiting the Purple Aces to just one hit. Canaan Silver picked up his second career win as he tossed 3.0 innings in relief and surrendered two late runs on two hits, while Logan Whitaker made his first career appearance and threw the final 1.1 innings of the contest.

NC State tallied 13 hits on the day with five of those being for extra bases. LuJames Groover III (3-for-4), Soles (3-for-4), Brown (2-for-4), White (2-for-4) and Hood (2-for-4) all turned in multi-hit performances at the plate while White led the squad with four RBIs. For Groover, Hood and White, it was their second consecutive multi-hit game of the weekend.

NC State returns to action Sunday when it looks to sweep its series over Evansville. First pitch is set for 1 p.m. at Doak Field at Dail Park, and the game will be broadcast on ACCNX.

I don't understand why they don't sell these black unis. Take my $$

Strange that Elliot has stuck with the same lineup all weekend, unlike him for early season games.

I love that Tommy walks up to Big Poppa.

Dom is gonna get overshadowed by Tommy this series but he has some damn power in his bat. Really interested in seeing his glove.
