RALEIGH, N.C. - No. 19 NC State plays host to Charlotte at 6 p.m. Wednesday in a midweek tuneup for the Wolfpack's weekend series with Duke at Doak Field at Dail Park.
The Pack (26-12, 13-8 ACC) enters the game after scoring a pair of wins in a Saturday doubleheader with Boston College to take the series last weekend.
Chris Diaz will lead State at the plate after tying a season-high with four RBIs and four hits in Saturday's series-clinching win over the Eagles.
Diaz is currently on a four-game hot streak, hitting a blistering .579 (11-for-19) with six doubles, 10 RBIs, and eight runs. The junior from Miami, Fla. leads a Wolfpack offense that ranks first in the ACC in runs per game (7.37), in batting average (.372), hits (58), RBIs (41), and doubles (16).
NC State will start Ethan Ogburn (3-2, 2.88 ERA) against Charlotte righthander Brock Hudgens (0-0, 3.71).
Radio coverage for Wednesday's game will provided by 88.1 WKNC, fans can follow Twitter updates from @NCStateBaseball, and live stats will be available on GoPack.com.
