RALEIGH – After concluding play in its final home tournament of the season on Sunday, the NC State softball team returns to action Tuesday when it hosts USC Upstate at Dail Stadium. First pitch is 5 p.m. and the game will be streamed on the ACC Network Extra.
The Wolfpack enters the matchup with an 18-13 record while the Spartans, who are currently receiving votes in the latest national polls, are 21-10 this season.
Last Time Out
The Wolfpack hosted Kennesaw State, Marist and Niagara last weekend in the Homewood Suites by Hilton RDU/RTP Challenge, and posted a 3-2 record in the tournament. The Pack earned 9-1 (5) and 9-7 wins over the Purple Eagles and a 4-3 victory over the Owls.
Jade Caraway led the team at the plate with a .500 batting average, including two doubles and her first home run of the season. She also held a 1.000 slugging percentage and .684 on-base percentage, as she reached base safely in all five games.
Kama Woodall turned in a strong performance in the circle with a .54 ERA in 13.0 innings pitched. She gave up one earned run and finished the weekend with a 1-1 record.
All-Time Series
Tuesday will mark the eighth meeting between the teams, as USC Upstate owns a 4-3 advantage in the all-time series. Last year the Pack traveled to Spartanburg, S.C., for a doubleheader and dropped both games.
Lucky Third
NC State has plated 35 runs in the third inning, the most scored in any frame this season. Eight of the team's 24 homers have come in the third inning, and the squad is 12-0 when leading at the conclusion of three innings.
