The NC State softball team dropped both games on day one of The Raleigh Times tournament. The loss in game one to UNCW snapped the Pack's seven game winning streak and six-game home winning-streak.

The Wolfpack moves to 12-7 overall on the season.

UNCW 5, NC State 4
How it Happened
The Seahawks posted two on the board in the opening frame after a two run homer by Maggie Pertee.
UNCW posted three more on the board in the second inning to take a 5-0 lead over NC State.
Graduate infielder Michele Tarpey recorded the Pack's first hit of the afternoon with a single in the bottom of the second, but NC State was unable to score to minimize the deficit.
The bottom of the sixth saw a two out rally from the Wolfpack as freshman Kendall Simmers singled to get on base. Junior Hannah Church followed up Simmers' hit with a moon shot to left field to get NC State on the board. Tarpey would single before junior MaKayla Marbury hit her second homer of the season to left field to bring the Pack within one, 5-4.
NC State kept the Seahawks off the board in the top of the seventh and attempted to rally in the bottom but the effort was cut short after UNCW picked up the final out.
Wynne Gore pitched 4.1 innings and picked up three strikeouts to lead the pitching staff in the outing.

Michigan 5, NC State 3
How it Happened


The Wolverines struck first in the top of the third after a single allowed one to score.
Michigan added three more to the board in the fifth after two singles and a double allowed runners to score.
NC State found momentum in the bottom of the fifth when freshman Kendall Simmers singled with two outs to bring home Tori Ensley.
The Pack minimized the deficit to one in the bottom of the sixth after graduate Hannah Goodwin hit a bomb to left and junior Teagan Thrunk hit one of her own to follow suit. The homer was Thrunk's first of the season and since she joined the Wolfpack in the off season.
Heading into the seventh, NC State trailed 4-3 and despite the Wolverines getting one into scoring position, the Pack's defense stopped them from adding any insurance runs to the board.
Senior Taylor Ensley singled to left field with one out on the board but the Wolverines struck out the next two members of the Pack to end the game on top, 4-3.
Wynne Gore pitched 4.1 innings for the Pack and had two strikeouts.

Next Up
The Pack will host Queens and UNCW on Saturday, March 1 for the second day of The Raleigh Times tournament. Play will begin against the Royals at 2:30pm before the Pack faces the Seahawks again at 5pm. Both games will be streamed on ACCNX.

  • With one out on the board and one on base, graduate designated hitter Payden Bordeau went rogue and smashed a ball to the scoreboard in left field to put NC State on the board, 2-0.

  • Graduate Hannah Goodwin led off the top of the sixth with a walk and freshman Kam Munson entered to pinch run.

  • Goodwin started a 5-4-3 double play to end the sixth inning and keep the Yellow Jackets off the board.
  • Simmers led off the seventh inning with a single to left field to get the Pack going. With one out on the board, Thrunk secured her third hit of the outing with a single up the middle. Goodwin would then reach on a fielder's choice as Simmers was tagged out at third.
  • Bordeau worked a 3-1 count before being thrown ball four to load the bases with two outs and Tori Enslet stepping into the box. The Yellow Jackets ended the Pack's opportunity for insurance runs and forced the bottom of the seventh.
  • The Yellow Jackets saw three different Wolfpack pitchers in the bottom of the seventh and got out of a bases loaded situation by scoring on a throwing error and then winning the game with a walk off single.

RALEIGH, N.C. Junior catcher Hannah Church paced the Wolfpack softball team in a convincing 11-5 win Tuesday evening at Dail Softball Stadium.

The Land O' Lakes, Fla. native smashed two homers in the win to claim the top spot in the conference as the home run leader.
How it Happened
The Pirates attempted to get two batters on to start the game but the Wolfpack defense was solid and picked up a 6-4-3 double play to secure the first two outs in the top of the first.
Teagan Thrunk recorded the first hit of the outing in the bottom of the second, for either team with a double to right center that allowed Michele Tarpey to score.

Graduate catcher Payden Bordeau would later hit a sacrifice fly to bring home Thrunk. Senior Taylor Ensley followed it up with a single down the left line to bring home Kendall Simmers, who reached base due to a fielding error by the Pirates. NC State held a 3-0 lead heading into the second frame.
The Pirates responded in the top of the second with an RBI double to minimize the deficit to one but Tori Ensley managed to score on a passed ball in the bottom of the frame to push the Pack's lead back to three.

East Carolina minimized the deficit back to one in the third after a two run home run from Emma Jackson.
The bottom of the fourth allowed NC State to push the lead to two after Tori Ensleyy grounded out to third and Gabi Wilson, who entered as a pinch runner for Hannah Goodwin, scored.
The Pirates posted two more runs in the top of the fifth to tie the game five all after back-to-back hits allowed runners to score.

With an out on the board in the bottom of the fifth, junior Hannah Church worked a full count before smashing a ball to right field to put the Pack back in front.
After the Pirates picked up the second out of the frame, both Bordeau and Taylor Ensley were walked to put two on for Goodwin. The infielder fell behind in the count, 0-2, but smashed the third pitch thrown her way past the left field wall to push the Pack ahead, 9-5.
Sophomore right handed pitcher Carly Maxton picked up three strikeouts in the top of the sixth to keep the Pirates off the board.
With one on base and one out in the bottom of the sixth, Church added two insurance runs to the board after she smashed a ball to the building in center field. The hit marked her 10th homer of the season and claimed the top spot in the ACC for most homers this season.
The Pirates attempted to rally in the seventh but the opportunity was cut short after the Pack picked up the final out.
Maxton was in the circle for all 21 outs and threw the entire seven innings to earn the win and move to 6-2 on the season. Redshirt-junior pitcher Wynne Gore faced two batters in the fifth before Maxton re-entered the game to close it out.

The Pack moves to 16-10 on the season. The win marks the 46th under the leadership of head coach Lindsay Leftwich, the 613th in program history, and the 276th at Dail Stadium

The Pack will host Notre Dame for the first home conference series of the season. The two teams will begin the series on Friday, March 14th at 7pm on ACC Network.
