RALEIGH, N.C. – The 20th-ranked NC State baseball team heads to Wilmington for a midweek matchup against the UNCW Seahawks Wednesday afternoon. First pitch is slated for 4 p.m. at Brooks Field.
Â
The contest will be broadcast live on the Seahawks Digital Network available at this link, while radio coverage will also be available on WKNC 88.1 FM and on GoPack.com for premium subscribers.
Â
NC State enters the contest with a 6-6 overall record, while UNCW owns a 3-7 ledger.
Â
Last Time Out
In its last outing, NC State dropped a 9-8 decision against Western Carolina at home. The Wolfpack trailed early, but made a late surge and had the tying run aboard in the eighth and ninth inning but came up short against the Catamounts.
Â
UNCW was defeated by Florida Gulf Coast, 10-1, in the most recent outing for the Seahawks on Sunday. The Eagles also won Friday and Saturday's games to sweep the series with UNCW.
Â
10 & Counting
Wolfpack junior shortstop Joe Dunand extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single in the third inning against Western Carolina on Monday. The streak started against Hawai'i in the series finale and Dunand has kept it rolling.
Â
Also, freshman Will Wilson stretched his hitting streak to seven games against the Catamounts with his single in the third.
Deatherage in Center Field
Junior Brock Deatherage made his first start of the season in center field Monday afternoon and made an excellent defensive play to earn a spot on the SportsCenter top 10 plays. His diving grab checked in at No. 7 on the list.
Â
It was his fourth collegiate start in center field, as he started two games at the position a season ago and one in his freshman campaign.Â
Lucky Six
NC State has scored 14 runs in the sixth inning this season, the most in any inning this year.
Late Surge
In the eighth inning this season, the Wolfpack has plated 11 runs, the second most in an inning for the squad.
Â
Youth Movement
Freshman Brad Debo leads NC State with four multi-hit games and is also tied for the team lead with three multi-RBI games along with classmate Wilson.
Â
Scouting UNCW
The UNCW Seahawks have had a tough start to the season, but were ranked in several preseason top-25 polls and were the unanimous pick to win the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA).
Â
UNCW owns a team batting average of .221, headlined by preseason All-American Nick Feight with a .302 clip. On the mound, Seahawk pitchers have compiled a 5.59 ERA. Wednesday's starter Austin Warren is 1-0 on the year with a 3.86 ERA.
