NCAA TOURNAMENT: Wolfpack Headed to Columbia

May 29, 2023
106,667

NC State (35-19, 13-16 ACC) has been selected to the 2023 NCAA College World Series Tournament and will play in the Columbia Regional as the No. 3 seed.

The Wolfpack will be paired against No. 2-seed Campbell (44-13, 22-5 Big South) as tournament play begins Friday at 1 p.m. from Founders Park. Regional host South Carolina (39-19, 16-13 SEC) will open against four-seed Central Connecticut State (36-12, 25-5 NEC). The Columbia Regional is matched against the Gainesville Regional which contains Florida, Connecticut, Texas Tech, and Florida A&M.

One of the more explosive teams in the Southeastern Conference, South Carolina currently sits within the top 10 teams in the country in home runs hit with 110, but the Gamecocks dropped nine of its last 11 regular-season games after starting the season 30-4 overall. South Carolina defeated Georgia in the SEC Tournament before suffering back-to-back losses to LSU and Texas A&M. NC State holds a 35-22 all-time record over South Carolina, but the Gamecocks have the latest victory in Charlotte on April 2, 2019, dowing the Wolfpack, 10-8.

Entering postseason play with many outlets projected they would host, the Camels secured their second straight Big South Championship with back-to-back wins over USC Upstate who took two out of three from Campbell in the final weekend of the regular season. The Wolfpack last faced the Camels on March 2, 2022 when Campbell took the win in Buies Creek, 7-4.

Central Connecticut State heads into the tournament as the automatic qualifier from the Northeastern Conference after winning five games in four days with the final two victories coming against Wagner by a combined margin of 20 runs. Should the teams meet, NC State will face the Blue Devils for the first time in school history.

Stay tuned to Inside Pack Sports for more information as the Wolfpack’s postseason continues.

StateFan2001 will probably respond to this because he isn't smart enough to understand how ignore works.

Squeezing Whit, but he is throwing a ton of competitive pitches. Not a ton of barrels. Have to feel good about what we've seen.

Defense making plays... very much a "Uh oh...Happy learned how to putt" type moment for this team.

Just an absolutely massive inning for us.

And the strike zone makes no sense but we'll take that low strike three.

2 first pitch outs and a baserunning mistake for the 3rd out in the Top of the 4th. Not our best half inning there.

just looked at the campell roster link for fun on their website. Under each guys picture in roster are some icons for twitter and instagram and then a $. I clicked on the dollar sign. It takes you to the Fighting Camel Exchange which is described as:

The Fighting Camels Exchange is a custom-designed student-athlete NIL registry for businesses, collectives, donors, alumni, fans and others wishing to connect specifically with student-athletes at Campbell.

Seems like a pretty easy way to set up NIL. Allows you to click on a guy and provide him with some sort of NIL. Pretty simple and pretty cool i think. Would keep people from asking "How do i give money or which NIL do i give to etc......". Seems like it allows you to pick a player from any sport you would like and provide them with an NIL opportunity.

Not getting that outside black at all, but their guy is certainly getting it.

Yeah we are for sure getting squeezed a bit on the strikezone compared to their pitcher
