RALEIGH - Major League pitchers Joey Devine and Chad Orvella will be featured guests on the "Bobby Murray Tailgate Show" Saturday morning prior to NC State's Homecoming football game against Southern Mississippi.
Air time for the hour-long show is at 10 a.m. Among other activities at Fan Zone on Saturday is a concert by beach music band "Chairman of the Board."
The two former NC State stars were both called up by their respective teams during the most recent season, Orvella in late May by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Devine in late August by the Atlanta Braves.

He made 37 appearances for Tampa Bay, winning three games and earning one save in middle relief and compiling an earned run average of 3.60. Two of his three wins came against the New York Yankees and closer Mariano Rivera.
Devine just completed a whirlwind 18 months in which he pitched for six different teams, including his entire junior season with the Wolfpack. He also pitched for Team USA last summer, the Myrtle Beach Pelicans immediately after he was drafted in the first round of the Major League draft (No. 26 overall), the Mississippi Braves, the Richmond Braves and the Atlanta Braves.
Devine pitched in five regular-season games after being recalled from Mississippi to Atlanta and in three post-season games. His final appearance was in the 18-inning marathon against the Houston Astros, the longest playoff game ever played.
