Splitting two games this past weekend at the Homewood Suites Shootout in Charleston, S.C., NC State beat The Citadel 10-3 and then had a six-game winning streak ended with a 13-1 loss to East Carolina. Sunday's game with West Virginia was rained out. The Wolfpack, 9-2 on the season, will start freshman right hand pitcher Gib Hobson against the Spartans, who are hitting .263 as a team.
