NC State baseball’s season will continue this weeked in the NCAA regional round. After falling just short in a 1-0 loss to Duke in the ACC Championship Game, the Wolfpack will look to advance to a Super Regional for the first time since 2013 by winning the Ruston, Louisana Regional, hosted by Louisiana Tech.

After starting the regular season 1-8 and then finishing 24-6 and making it the conference title game, the Pack will be the 2-seed in this regional behind 1-seed Louisiana Tech. The Wolfpack will start things off against 3-seed Alabama Friday at 3 p.m. on ESPN3. 4-seed Rider rounds out the group. 

Alabama went 31-24 overall this year and finished 11th in a loaded SEC. Louisana Tech went 40-18 and fell to Old Dominion in the Conference USA Championship game. Rider finished 23-16 but won the MAAC Tournament. 

The winner of this regional would face the winner of the Fayetteville, Araknas Regional, hosted by No. 1 overall seed Arkansas, in the Super Regional round. 

Stay tuned to IPS for much more on NC State’s upcoming matchups in this regional.

Arkansas' composure at the plate will hopefully back fire too. Every single one of them is trying to hit dingers. Play the game!

Not really. I said in another thread that I'm a noob at baseball so bear with me. I see them striking out a ton (8 Ks)... 4 hits and 2 HR. They are rarely if ever on base (they just got a guy to first). Basically I see them swinging for the fences and missing a lot. All up and down the order.

Not many pitches thrown by Nebraska. As we just saw in B7. They had a guy on first and did nothing to try to advance him and get a run in. I see hero ball!

Win or lose, Arkansas is clearly beatable. Definitely more so than you'd think for a team that's been as dominant as they have. Gotta make Kopps work harder than this though. These are easy outs

1998 Conference Tournament

Mount Olive versus Barton

Mount Olive pitcher Jonathan Morgan pitched 12 2/3 innings and threw 230+ pitches. Came out with 2 outs in the 13. Chad Holland comes in in relief and throws six pitches to get the last out. Mount Olive scores in the bottom of the 13th and Holland gets the win. Morgan with 235 pitches and the no decision.

Keith Law would spontaneously combust if that happened in today's game. Oddly enough my shoulder just started hurting too.

I appreciate the crazy atmosphere, but that environment at Arkansas is a little cheesy and annoying, tbh. It's not jealousy.
I'm class of '09, for reference.

Am I offbase?

I guess it just seems like a lot of work to be at that game.

Ump seriously squeezed the Nebraska pitchers there. Willing to bet the zone isn't that tight in the 9th.

Arkansas is an environment built for a showman umpire.

Gives Kopps the first borderline pitch he sees in the 9th. SMH.

I'm really good at accidentally hitting that sad face right next to "Done" on my iPhone when the keyboard is out.

I'm not scared if this is their best pitcher.

We ain't going down next weekend easily. Might as well win it in style.

In the unconventional sense, yes.

Hasn't started a game all season but has 11 (bout to be 12) wins and 11 saves on the season.

I agree that our lineup is really good and we have a good chance to win this thing... but I'm pretty sure Kopps won collegiate baseball's National Player of the Year

You should be a lil concerned. He's probably the best pitcher in the country and he'll throw in every game next weekend too, if needed.

But even the best get beat up at times.
