Pitching change for the Pack: Nick Swiney. Final line on Johnston: 3 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 2 K, 0 BB.

Long fly by Wilson is secured by the Charlotte LF. Pack can't capitalize as the game remains scoreless. On to the 4th we go.

1-0 Pack
End of 4

NC State 5, Charlotte 0 -- End 6th

Swiney yields another run on a Charlotte double and it's now 5-2. Runner on 2nd, no outs.


Pitching change for the Pack: Brett Kinneman (yes, that Brett Kinneman).

Kinneman walks Cammarata. Ober comes to bat with nobody out and runners on first and second.

Kinneman strikes out Ober, but strike three is wild. The runners advance to second and third.

K count: 1 (4 overall).

Jones flies out to right for the second out. Deatherage fires a laser to the plate, but Debo drops it as Smith scores. The Pack still leads, 5-3.

Bullock hits a grounder down the line that just gets past Vazquez's glove. Cammarata scores on the double as Elwood moves to third. NC State still leads, 5-4.

Hampton singles into left. Elwood and Bullock score on the play. Charlotte leads, 6-5. Here comes Foxhall.

Kinneman goes back into left as McArthur goes to the dugout.

Why did Kinneman pitch?

he had warmed up over the weekend and looking back at the preseason Pack9 topic, pitching stuff has been hurt with injuries.
