The Pack struggled defensively toward the end of the meeting as they picked up two errors in the top of the seventh.
Notre Dame added a third run in the seventh after a ground-out allowed one to score, pushing the score to 3-0.
Junior right handed pitcher Madison Inscoe threw the complete game and picked up a strikeout in the outing.

Junior MaKayla Marbury secured the series win over Notre Dame for the NC State softball team with a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the eighth in the rubber match Saturday evening at Dail Stadium.

The Wolfpack shutout the Irish earlier in the day, 6-0, led by the pitching of sophomore right hander Carly Maxton, who threw her eighth complete game and fourth shutout of the season.

NC State held the Irish scoreless for 10 straight innings Saturday, starting in game one and carrying over to game two. The series win marked the first of the season and moved the Pack to 18-11 overall, 2-4 in conference play.

Game One - How it Happened
  • The Pack wasted no time getting on the board in the opening frame as a passed ball by the Irish defense and two hits allowed NC State to post a crooked number on the board.
  • Senior Michele Tarpey scored first for the Pack after a passed ball allowed her to cross the plate with one out. Freshman Kendall Simmers later doubled down the right line to bring home one and senior Taylor Ensley followed it up with a single to left that allowed Simmers to reach home.
  • NC State posted three on the board in the bottom of the first to take the early lead.
  • Junior Hannah Church doubled to right center with one on base in the bottom of the second with two outs to push the team's lead to four.
  • Graduate Payden Bordeau continued her hitting streak with a homer to left center in the bottom of the third with two outs to increase the lead to five.
  • The Irish managed to hold the Pack off the board in the fifth but it was the only frame Notre Dame kept NC State off the board.
  • Graduate Hannah Goodwin wanted in on the hitting spread and drilled a solo homer to left field in the bottom of the fifth with one out to secure the final run for the Pack, 6-0.
  • It wasn't until the top of the sixth that the Irish secured its first and only hit of the outing. Sydney Poeck singled to left field in an attempt to start a rally for Notre Dame.
  • Sophomore Carly Maxton threw the complete game and picked up four strikeouts. The win moved her to 7-2 on the season and moved her earned run average back to a sub-two.
Game Two - How it Happened
  • The Wolfpack continued to build on the momentum from game one and held the Irish off the board in the first two innings.
  • Junior MaKayla Marbury smashed a double to left field with two outs in the bottom of the second to get the Pack's first run on the board. Sophomore Tori Ensley followed it up with an infield single that allowed Marbury to score and push the lead to two.
  • With two outs on the board in the top of the fourth, Jane Kronenberger hit a single to right field to get Notre Dame's first run of the afternoon.
  • The Irish posted two more runs in the fifth inning after a single from Addison Amaral brought two home on an error by the Wolfpack defense.
  • Junior right handed pitcher Rylee Wyman entered the circle in the fifth after the Irish took the lead. She struck out the next three batters swinging to end the chances of Notre Dame increasing the lead.
  • After holding the Pack scoreless for four innings, the Irish slipped up in the bottom of the seventh as Tarpey was walked after a 15-pitch at bat and Taylor Ensley singled to left field to bring one home to tie the game three-all. The Irish struck out the next Wolfpack batter to send the game into an extra frame.
  • Despite Notre Dame leading off the eighth inning with a walk, the Pack defense was solid and got the next three batters out.
  • Graduate Payden Bordeau led off the bottom of the eighth with a double to left field and a sacrifice bunt from Hannah Goodwin allowed Bordeau to get to third.
  • With a 1-0 count on the board, Marbury smashed a home run past the netting in left field to walk it off for the Pack.
  • Wyman earned the win for the Pack and finished with five strikeouts. She moves to 5-2 on the season.

Junior Hannah Church tied the program record for most single game RBI (7) while the team recorded 19 runs and 17 RBI to tie for third most in program history in a convincing win over Boston College in game one of the series Friday afternoon.

Church became the first person to record seven RBI's since Molly Hutchinson tallied just as many in 2017 against Georgia Tech.

The 19 runs scored is the most since 2023 when the Pack posted the same number against NC Central. The 17 RBI's also tied for third most in program history in a single game since 2015 when the squad had just as many against Radford.

The Pack moves to 19-11 overall and 34 in conference play.

How it Happened
Graduate Michele Tarpey led off the afternoon with a double to right center field to get the Pack going. Junior Teagan Thrunk followed it up with a single up the middle to drive home Tarpey and put the Pack on the board, 1-0.

The third hitter for the Pack was junior Hannah Church, who smashed a bomb to right field to push the Wolfpack ahead, 3-0.

The Pack picked up the first two outs of the frame with a 1-3 double play. Redshirt-sophomore Wynne Gore struck out the final batter of the bottom half of the first to keep the Eagles off the board.

Junior MaKayla Marbury led off the inning by reaching base on an error by the Eagles infield. Tori Ensley also reached base after being walked and Thrunk singled up the middle with one out to load the bases for Church.

Church smashed her second hit in her second at bat, a double down the right line, to drive home two and push the lead to 5-0.

The Eagles brought in a pitching change but it didn't stop the Pack as Taylor Ensley reached base on a single to right field, bringing home two. Freshman Kendal Simmers and graduate Hannah Goodwin were both walked to load the bases for Marbury, who ended up lining out to left.

NC State posted another wild inning in the third that saw the entire lineup once. The Pack posted six hits which was highlighted by Church's second homer of the afternoon to mark her second two homer game of the season.

Boston College posted one on the board in the bottom of the third after a throwing error by the Pack's defense.
The Eagles posted four in the fourth after a double, triple, stolen base, and ground-out allowed one to score.

NC State posted three more runs in the fourth after a homer from Hannah Goodwin.

The fifth inning saw the Pack score two more times after a wild pitch and stolen base pushed the score to 19. NC State picked up three quick outs in the bottom of the fifth to end the game on top, 19-5.

Gore picked up the win to move to 5-3 on the season.
