A reminder of what Knaak did to State in game 3 last year.

Baseball vs Clemson on 4/14/2024 - Box Score - NC State University Athletics

8 IP, 2 hits, 10 strikeouts, 1 walk, 0 runs. Probably the most dominant a pitcher was against that lineup last year (we at least scratched on Burns + 5 hits). On paper it should be a great pitcher's duel tonight so expect a 10-8 ballgame lol.

They will run Lucas Mahlstedt out there as a closer and he's in line to win every postseason award for that position. Super funky, long, right hander. Brought him into the Friday night game last year in a huge bases loaded 2 out spot and he worked a ground ball that the 3b errored on which lead to the bases eventually clearing after Eli poked one up the middle.

And of course Cannarella is the household name. He's having a pretty bad year for his standards but will make one play out in center that you've never seen before.

Huge series. Find a way to take 2. 6 runs in each game will you give you a great chance to do so.

Interesting. Ossenfort has DH this game.

Nobody is taking the spot. So seems like they're going to roll guys through it until someone decides to get a hit lol

Think the stuff looks good and the misses are small. Would've been nice to get out of that scoreless but think Dom settles in here.

Insane swing by McHugh

That's 3 phenomenal at bats in a row.

That offensive half had to be good for Dom too I think. Would be huge to turn them around quick and make Knaak work again
