Senior Brock Deatherage scores three times
BUIES CREEK, N.C. – The 10th-ranked NC State baseball team earned a 4-1 win against the Campbell Fighting Camels Wednesday evening in the Wolfpack's first road test of the season held at Jim Perry Stadium.
Â
Leading 2-1 heading to the ninth, NC State tacked on a pair of insurance runs en route to the 4-1 victory. Freshman Evan Justice picked up his second win of the season with 2.1 innings of scoreless relief and classmate Reid Johnston pitched the ninth to record his third save.
Â
Campbell's starter Allan Winans was charged with the loss and falls to 1-2.
Â
NC State is now 11-2 on the year and Campbell moves to 4-8.
Â
Quick Hits
- Campbell capitalized on an NC State error to take an early 1-0 lead in the contest on an unearned run, but NC State countered in its next at-bat to level the score at one apiece.
- Brock Deatherage walked to lead off the third, stole second base and scored on a double to left field by David Vazquez.
- The Wolfpack grabbed a 2-1 advantage in the top of the fifth after an RBI single up the middle from Dillon Cooper.
- Deatherage led off the frame with a bunt single, stole second base and advanced to third on a wild pitch before scoring on the base hit from Cooper.
- Campbell had the tying run aboard in the bottom half of the fifth, but freshman Nick Swiney struck out the batter looking on a 3-2 pitch to end the inning.
- In the sixth, Nolan Clenney entered the game to pitch for the Pack with runner on first and second and struck out the next two batters to end the inning and preserve the lead.
- The Wolfpack added two runs in the ninth after a perfectly executed squeeze play, as J.T. Jarrett dropped a perfect bunt and Patrick Bailey scored from third base.
- After an intentional walk to Brett Kinneman, Will Wilson walked with the bases loaded to push across the fourth run of the game for NC State. He also extended his reached base safely streak to 28 games, dating back to 2017.
Â
Inside the Box Score
- Deatherage scored three of the Wolfpack's four runs in the contest, as he went 1-for-2 at the plate and walked twice.
 - He also stole a pair of bases and put a lot of pressure on the Campbell pitching staff when he was on base.
- Eight different players had a hit in the game for NC State.
- Wolfpack pitchers held the Camels to 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and only allowed one extra-base hit.
Â
On the Mound
- Six NC State pitchers threw in Wednesday's game and they did not allow an earned run.
- Sophomore Michael Bienlien started the game and pitched two innings before Justice took over.
- Swiney relieved him and threw an inning with two strikeouts. After Swiney, Clenney entered the contest and was lights out.
- He fanned four batters in two innings of work and allowed a pair of singles.
- Kent Klyman faced one batter and forced the lefty to ground into a double play.
- Johnston worked a strong ninth, pitching around a two-out single to earn NCSU's seventh save.
