The Wolfpack will open its season with a home series against Wagner (Feb. 17-19) before traveling to Coastal Carolina on Feb. 22 for its first midweek road matchup. The Pack then plays its next eight games at home, hosting Belmont (Feb. 24-26), Longwood (Feb. 28), Radford (March 1) and NJIT (March 3-5) at The Doak.

NC State then plays its first full week of road contests, beginning the week at UNCG (March 7) before opening ACC play at Miami on March 10-12. The Wolfpack returns to The Doak on March 14 for a midweek contest against Elon.

Sweet. I love the home and home with ecu

I can finally talk about it

Wagner #245, Belmont #63, NJIT #197. (last years RPI)

really, reallly weak again. ECU x2 is nice, Coastal is nice, but overall very weak. hopefully it doesn't bite us like last year

For reference. '22 Schedule featured:

Evansville: #80

Quinnipiac: #257

Northeastern #118.

Also had ECU x2. Coastal was cancelled. So pretty similar. '23 slightly worse maybe

We were hosed obviously. Need to win more than 4 series in conference play apparently, which I think we are more than capable of. If healthy, this group could be one of EA's better teams and can definitely host a regional.
Full season from Sam and the new bats hit and field as advertised, could be looking at a potential top 8.

I'm looking forward to catching the Coastal Carolina game down there in Feb! I've wanted to see their baseball palace for a long time.

I understand what you're getting at, but northeastern was a top 35 RPI team going into last year (preseason CAA favorites), they just underachieved. Maybe one of the teams this year overachieves (Evansville did last year) but still disappointing nonetheless

I'm with you. Sure hope so at least, assuming we don't get swept like Northeastern did lol.

Amen to that

Just wondering why the weekend conference home series have the Saturday games scheduled for 4:00 instead of 6:00 or 6:30 like previous seasons. Doesn't really matter, but just curious. Any insight?

No clue

7 weeks from today

Love it

JC where is the team practicing? Do you expect us to play the opening game at Doak? Any scoop on how the early pitching looks?

As of right now I think we open up at the Doak depending on if we don't have any set backs because of weather

Practice at the Holly Springs Salamanders on January 9th

The countdown begins ⏳

Just 𝟒𝟎 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒 until Opening Day at #TheDoak 🐺 pic.twitter.com/YQd0o5k7zh

I've seen nothing from official the NC State Baseball accounts that the practice is open today. If that's the case, they've done a bad job letting people know.

On ting Park Facebook account but I agree with you they need to do better

Any practice updates

Yesterday was just infielders and Outfielders drills and BP

Stopped by yesterday only for about 10 min…not sure who but was a lefty crankin shots well over the right field wall…up multiple of picnic area decks on that side

That was probably E.Serrano16

Turn that dial to watch the #Pack9 on TV eight times during the regular season📺
