NCAA TOURNAMENT: Wolfpack Headed to Columbia

May 29, 2023
77,875

NC State (35-19, 13-16 ACC) has been selected to the 2023 NCAA College World Series Tournament and will play in the Columbia Regional as the No. 3 seed.

The Wolfpack will be paired against No. 2-seed Campbell (44-13, 22-5 Big South) as tournament play begins Friday at 1 p.m. from Founders Park. Regional host South Carolina (39-19, 16-13 SEC) will open against four-seed Central Connecticut State (36-12, 25-5 NEC). The Columbia Regional is matched against the Gainesville Regional which contains Florida, Connecticut, Texas Tech, and Florida A&M.

One of the more explosive teams in the Southeastern Conference, South Carolina currently sits within the top 10 teams in the country in home runs hit with 110, but the Gamecocks dropped nine of its last 11 regular-season games after starting the season 30-4 overall. South Carolina defeated Georgia in the SEC Tournament before suffering back-to-back losses to LSU and Texas A&M. NC State holds a 35-22 all-time record over South Carolina, but the Gamecocks have the latest victory in Charlotte on April 2, 2019, dowing the Wolfpack, 10-8.

Entering postseason play with many outlets projected they would host, the Camels secured their second straight Big South Championship with back-to-back wins over USC Upstate who took two out of three from Campbell in the final weekend of the regular season. The Wolfpack last faced the Camels on March 2, 2022 when Campbell took the win in Buies Creek, 7-4.

Central Connecticut State heads into the tournament as the automatic qualifier from the Northeastern Conference after winning five games in four days with the final two victories coming against Wagner by a combined margin of 20 runs. Should the teams meet, NC State will face the Blue Devils for the first time in school history.

Stay tuned to Inside Pack Sports for more information as the Wolfpack’s postseason continues.

It took until the top of the 8th with two outs for the ACCN announcing team with ACC guy Roddy Jones to finally acknowledge that we are playing well and have a shot to win the regional.

I know it's probably not technically an ACC broadcast but promote your brands a little bit ACCN.

No way this gets overturned. Waste of a challenge here
hard disagree. he threw his elbow to the moon trying to get hit. nothing whatsoever was natural about that movement with the elbow



I'll go on record that I've never seen a guy go out of his way to get hit by a pitch more than that.

If TC can continue to stay hot in this regional, watch out. The offense goes from good to great

Stood on the sidelines of a football game with Roddy several years ago, and he's a tremendous *******. He's also a tiny, tiny man.

In terms of finances, facilities, and future investments, look at what SEC schools are working with. Compare it then to the ACC. Revenue is the difference, and what the ACC Network does versus what the SEC Network brings in is one of the reasons why.

The ACC Network is so bad.

That vaunted Campbell offense that we heard all about:

1 Run - 0 XBH - 8 K's.

Always felt good about our pitching in this one. They haven't played the big boys in games that mattered.

Good start for the ACC as well:
State over Campbell
Duke over UNCW
UVa over Army
Clemson up on Lipscomb
BC tied with Troy in a weather delay

The SEC Network was in this same stage 1-2 years after rolling out like the ACC Network is now. You're comparing apples to oranges.

No doubt. Campbell will play tomorrow with their season on the line against South Carolina or Central Connecticut's ace that they're holding. That's gonna be a tough task.
