The Wolfpack and Camels met over the weekend, when NCSU earned a 21-4 victory to extend its advantage in the all-time series to 49-15-1.

Kinneman Repeats as ACC, National Player of the Week
For the second consecutive week, NC State baseball's Brett Kinneman has been named ACC Player of the Week, in addition to collecting National Player of the Week honors from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper (CBN).

The junior outfielder has been on fire at the plate, as he was 9-for-19 during the week to compile a .474 batting average. His nine hits led NC State to a team batting average of .365 over the four-game stretch.

Kinneman hit three home runs during the week to remain the NCAA leader in that statistic with eight for the season.

Pack Power
NC State leads the ACC and ranks second in the NCAA with 27 home runs as a team, just one shy of the national leader, Tennessee Tech. The Wolfpack has hit at least one homer in 11 of 12 games this season.

The Pack is 7-0 on the year when hitting more than one home run in the contest.

Offensive Outburst
The Wolfpack's bats erupted for 23 hits, 21 runs, 18 RBIs and five home runs in Saturday's victory against Campbell. Each of those is the most by an ACC team in a game this season.

Lucky Fourth
NC State has scored 22 runs in the fourth inning, the most in any frame this season, and has limited opponents to just five runs.

Getting On Base
Senior Brock Deatherage is the only NC State player that has reached base safely in all 12 games this season. Will Wilson has reached base safely in his last 27 games, but missed the series finale against Furman with an injury.

The Wolfpack's on-base percentage of .438 leads the conference and ranks ninth in the NCAA.

Scouting Campbell
Wednesday's matchup will be the second of three between NC State and Campbell this season. The Camels defeated Bowling Green on Sunday afternoon, 17-3.

The Camels offense has recorded a .249 batting average at the plate, scoring 65 runs over 11 games. Luis Gimenez headlines the group with a .360 slash to go along with nine hits.

On the mound, Campbell pitchers own a 5.26 ERA in 101 innings pitched, allowing 59 earned runs.
