Softball Falls In Rubber Match With Yellow Jackets
3/18/2018 2:29:00 PM | Softball
ATLANTA – The NC State softball team concluded its series at Georgia Tech on Sunday at Mewborn field, falling 5-0 in the rubber match.
The Wolfpack falls to 15-11 (3-5 ACC) on the season while the Yellow Jackets clinch the series and improve to 16-9 (5-1 ACC).
How It Happened
-Georgia Tech took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a two-out RBI single to right field after a pair of walks started the inning.
-The Jackets threatened in the second as a single to right field and walk started the side, but Timberlyn Shurbutt caught a popped-up bunt and fired to Chandley Garner at first for the team's ninth double play of the season. A pop up caught behind home plate in the next at-bat ended the side.
-In the third inning Tech extended its lead to two with a solo homer to center field.
-Georgia Tech plated its third run of the game in the fourth inning. Rebecca Prairie reached on a fielder's choice and Malea Bell's double to right center brought her home from first.
-A solo home run in the fifth inning added another run to the board for the Jackets.
-In the sixth a bases-loaded RBI single through the left side tacked on Georgia Tech's fifth run. After a strikeout started the side a pair of outfield singles put two on for the Jackets, then a fielder's choice and walk loaded the bases.
Inside The Box Score
-The Pack fielded a double play in all three games this weekend.
-Garner led the team at the plate with a 2-for-3 performance as she legged out two infield singles. Bishop and Kobziak tallied the team's other two hits in the game.
-Kama Woodall (4-4) took the loss in the circle as she pitched 5.1 innings and gave up five runs on eight hits. Devin Wallace relieved her in the circle in the sixth inning after the pair of outfield singles put two on base.
Up Next
NC State returns home for a seven-game home stand. The team is back in action Wednesday when it hosts Charlotte in a midweek contest. First pitch is 5 p.m. at Dail Stadium and the game will be streamed on the ACC Network Extra.
