RALEIGH, N.C. Claudia Cooper crushed two doubles and Shanna Smith and Kristine Bechtholdt both went yard as NC State put away Coastal Carolina in six innings, 9-0, in the first of two games at the Curtis & Jacqueline Dail Softball Stadium on Wednesday, April 23. The win moves the Wolfpack to 28-23 on the year, while the Chanticleers fall to 18-34.
Lindsay Campana (17-15) got the decision, limiting Coastal to just two hits while fanning 11. Ashley Pedersen (7-11) got the loss in 3.1 innings of work, allowing eight hits and four earned runs. Michelle Evans gave up two earned runs in 2.1 frames of relief.
The Pack busted out of the gates early, putting up four runs with three hits and two costly Chanticleer errors in the bottom of the first. Smith got her final day at Dail Stadium under way in stellar fashion, belting a solo shot to left-center to start things off. Alyssa Allbritten drew a one-out walk, and Cooper followed with a fielder’s choice to short. But Laicole Walker’s throw sailed into right, allowing Allbritten to cross the dish while Cooper pranced to third. Cooper eventually scored when Bechtholdt smacked a single to deep center.
Lisa Nentwig sent a potential inning-ending grounder to short, but another Walker misfire allowed runners to move to second and third, and Bechtholdt eventually scored when Lauren Peters laced an RBI base knock into shallow left-center.
State pushed its lead to 5-0 in the bottom of the second when Ashleigh Davis singled through the left side and later scored on a Cooper double into the right-center gap.
The Wolfpack hiked the score to 7-0 in the bottom of the fourth. Davis dropped a bunt single towards third and Allbritten mailed a blooper into shallow left-center. Cooper then kicked up some chalk with a two RBI two-bagger right on top of the left field line.
Bechtholdt ended the game early with a two-run dinger in the bottom of the sixth.
NC State and Coastal Carolina will begin the second game of today’s twin bill shortly.
