RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State baseball team will make its final Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) regular season road trip this weekend when the squad travels to Pittsburgh for a three-game series. Friday and Saturday's games are slated for 6 p.m., while Sunday's tilt will begin at 1 p.m.

All three games will be broadcast live on the ACC Network Extra, accessible through Watch ESPN and the Watch ESPN App. Radio coverage will also be available on WKNC 88.1 FM and on GoPack.com for premium subscribers.

The Wolfpack heads into the series with a 28-21 overall record, including an 11-13 mark in ACC play while the Panthers are 22-24 on the year and 8-16 in league contests.

Negro League Celebration Day at Pitt
The Pittsburgh baseball team will host its annual Negro League Celebration Day in Friday's game. The Negro League has a rich history in the city of Pittsburgh, dating back to the Homestead Grays and the Pittsburgh Crawfords.

In celebration of these two teams, the Panthers will sport Homestead Grays hats, while the visiting Wolfpack will wear Pittsburgh Crawfords caps.

Pitt partners with the Josh Gibson Foundation each season to make the game possible. The goal is to carry the legacy of greatness and accomplishment embodied by Josh Gibson, by developing programs that help children of every level of ability reach their potential, and to create opportunities that set The Josh Gibson Foundation apart from other organizations and provides value for our communities.

In its last outing, NC State picked up a 6-3 win against UNCW to complete the season sweep against the Seahawks. The Wolfpack struck first in the matchup and scored the game's final three runs to earn the victory.

Pitt defeated Youngstown State in its most recent outing with a 3-2 win in extra innings Wednesday evening on its home field.

The Series
NC State and Pittsburgh will meet for just the fifth time in the history of the programs Friday evening, as the Wolfpack leads the all-time series, 3-1.

This weekend's trip will be the Wolfpack's first trip to Pittsburgh.
