Heels and Pirates had an exciting series with Pirates winning two of the three. In a tweet from Pirate homer Denny O'Brien he took opportunity to plug those two as best programs in the state. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but pretty strong comment considering WFU is currently #1 and Pack is certainly no slouch. Any thoughts from you guys who are more knowledgeable about baseball in our state?
I can't stand ECU baseball and their following. Win something of significance in the postseason. Easily 4th in the state IMO.

Wake is the gold standard right now. State and UNC are right there from a longevity perspctive. I think State is more consistent, but UNC has more ACC titles and CWS appearances.

And Duke looks like the best team out of the gate this year with an ACC title in the last couple years (compared to UNC and NCSU, not Wake)

and of course.... Hawaii looking to respond. Walk, single, walk loads the bases with no outs.

i am trying to be optimistic here.... but this is tough.

And gets two K's and a fly out to center to get out of it with no runs scored. Impressive.

The dreaded eighth inning.

Hollis Fanning gives up a triple for Hawaii to cut the lead to 10-7.

Error on Butterworth, 10-8. Still 2 outs, guy on 1st in the bottom of the 8th

and just like that, Hawaii is scoring late again.

new pitcher for the Pack

Derrick Smith making his season debut. I will say, they aren't letting these kids make their debuts in easy situations. Consiglio last night. Smith now. Heath Andrews earlier today

Smith throws 1 pitch, and this game is over!

Pack wins after 8 innings due to travel rule

Looks like they like Dudan in that role, but he pitched Friday and Saturday

NC State has a commercial flight to catch, so the coaches agreed to not start an inning after 4pm Hawaii time so the Pack can get to the airport

Two series and two series wins with both losses coming in game 2 collapses. Would have been nice to get one of these sweeps and be 5-1 but you'll take 4-2. VCU and Hawaii aren't the lower level northeast teams we typically open with.

I'm hopeful that Sam and Dom can round into form and start giving some length. I think if they do that the bullpen will look a lot better only needing 9 outs instead of 15.

Good to see Derrick Smith get some action. He had a good summer season and I was wondering about him. Anyone know how he got the last out?

1 pitch. Ground ball to second I think. I imagine we see him throw again this week since the schedule is loaded.

Nice series W. Think this one is going to be good for the team. 5 games coming up this week. Midweek vs Queens will be tough due to travel back to Raleigh, then 4 vs Towson. Towson is 1-6 on the year, so would be nice to go 5-0 this week.

Do we think the lack of use for Mako is because he will get a chance to be the midweek starter?

When we've struggled so far walks and errors have played a huge part and I doubt they'll be so persistent as the season plays out (knock on wood).

Trip of a lifetime for those guys and they took 2 of 3 from a pretty good team, to boot.

What are y'all's thoughts on the starting rotation so far?

that is my guess, but we'll find out soon. have 5 games next week will really allow some kids to get some innings.

we haven't seen guys like carson kelly, halford, win scott, shaffner, or miralia yet.
