Was hoping I could sneak away from work today, but it won't be in the cards. I'll be watching though.

I'm hoping the rain cooperates and I can get to tomorrow's game.

1-0 us after 1

Nice IP from Adams

Devo and White smoke balls to start the inning and we get lucky with a High Point E to take 1-0 lead. Dom P rolled into what should have been a double play ball.

4-0 good guys. White 2-2 2 rbis

Little guy homer!

awesome start. lets get some younger guys reps maybe starting inning 4-5

JT Jarrett goes bomb track!?

JT Jarrett goes bomb track!!! haha

What a fun 2nd inning. 9-0 Wolfpack after JT Jarrett 3 run HR

logan adams looks pretty good. leaving stuff up a little too much that would be hit hard in the ACC, IMO. but 40 pitches through 3 innings will work. the breaking ball is solid for sure

I'd rather listen anything is this world other than Beth Mowens and Adam Gold

Gold tries so hard to be witty. He fails horribly, but he tries so hard.

I'll never listen to his radio show but he's at least knowledgeable about the game in this setting. He's ok by me here. Him on a radio show, no way. haha

Tommy White makes hitting a baseball look extremely easy.

JT might be his main competition in the nation as a hitter. We can only hope and pray these bats stay hot because this is an embarrassment of riches right now.

dienes debut too. shaky start, but stuff looked solid when he threw some strikes.

18-3 final. go pack

Great win. Keep the bats hot.

On to the next one.

No. 7 NC State baseball (4-0) tallied 16 hits, including seven for extra bases, en route to its 18-3 win over High Point (0-4) on Tuesday afternoon at Doak Field at Dail Park.

This is the fourth consecutive game where the Wolfpack has not allowed an opponent to score in the first five innings, and is outscoring its opponents, 55-13, in the early season.

The Pack got on the board right away in the first inning when Devonte Brown scored on an RBI fielder's choice, and then exploded in the second inning with eight runs on six hits to take a 9-0 lead through two complete.

In the fourth, Dominic Pilolli drove in LuJames Groover from second with a long single to right field, and then the Pack tallied five more runs in the fifth via Brown's first homer of the year, Groover's RBI double down the left field line, a Jacob Godman sac fly and Jarrett's 2-RBI double to left to make it 15-0.

High Point got on the board in the sixth on Sam Zayicek's two-run home run to right field, but the Pack responded in the bottom frame on another RBI single by Groover with Brown in scoring position.

DeAngelo Giles rounded out NC State's scoring in the seventh with his first career home run, a two-run shot to left center field to give his team a 16-run lead.

The Panthers managed to push one final run across on a two-out RBI groundout in the ninth.

In his Wolfpack debut on the mound, starting pitcher Logan Adams (1-0) kept the Panthers at bay, limiting them to just four hits and two earned runs in 5.2 innings while fanning seven batters.

Freshman Carson Kelly tossed 2.1 innings in relief in his first collegiate appearance, striking out four batters, while Jacob Dienes threw the final inning of the contest to also mark his collegiate debut.

At the plate, Jarrett led the offensive spark with a 3-for-5 outing and a career-high five runs batted in. Brown (3-for-5), Groover (3-for-6) and Tommy White (3-for-5) also turned in multi-hit outings, while Giles, Groover, Pilolli and White all drove in two runs each.

Jarrett is 10-for-15 (.667) while White is 12-for-19 (.632) through just four games this year.

I'm starting to wonder if it's Groover instead of White who gets moved to DH when Pilolli is healthy enough to play in the OF. So far White has been a better fielder

Dude it has got to be, right?

Groover looks lost in the field. Great hitter though.

You would think, especially with how EA values defense

I think once they're good with Pilolli's health he's headed right to LF and Gino will move into that DH role.

Gino and Tommy Rotation The 1B/DH Spot

In just a small sample size, White has shown a pretty good defensive ability at first and made some great tags on throws off the mark in the first series.

I didn't catch the last four innings yesterday, had to follow along on Twitter, did Groover have a big problem in the field? I saw the ball down the line when he was in right field, but that's a tricky part of the field, so I didn't really hold that one against him. Was there something else when he moved to first in the seventh?

he had an error at first on an in-between hop. made the right play by charging it, but it kicked away. not a routine play by any means, but a play good defensive first basemen make

also, whitaker getting the start today. have to assume he's on a strict pitch count. seems like it would be a good time to have a bullpen day and let 5-6 guys get 1-2 innings

He also failed to field a fly ball that fell fair but I can't remember if that was when he was at 1st or RF
