Wolfpack pitchers have not allowed an earned run in the last 29 innings
CONWAY, S.C. – Headlined by four runs in the seventh inning, the 21st-ranked NC State baseball team earned a 5-0 win against the Michigan State Spartans Saturday afternoon at Springs Brooks Stadium in the Baseball at the Beach Tournament hosted by Coastal Carolina.
Â
The Wolfpack picked up its second shutout win of the season and is the only team in the ACC to record more than one shutout this year. NC State pitchers have not allowed an earned run in the last 29 innings.
Â
Sophomore Reid Johnston earned his first win of the season on the mound with 4.2 innings and he struck out a career-high seven batters. Michigan State's Mitchell Tyranski was charged with the loss, as he yielded four runs in his first inning of work.
Â
NC State remains unbeaten on the season at 6-0, while the Spartans fall to 1-5
Â
Quick Hits
- Following six scoreless innings, Tyler McDonough led off the seventh with a single up the middle and advanced to third on a pinch-hit double by Thayer Thomas.
- McDonough raced home to score the game's first run after a pitch skipped away from Michigan State's catcher Nic Lacayo.
- A double from J.T. Jarrett extended NC State's lead to 2-0, plating Thomas from third base.
Â
- Jonny Butler followed with a single up the middle to score Jarrett and the Wolfpack grabbed a 3-0 lead.
- With two outs in the seventh, Evan Edwards doubled off the wall in left center to bring in Butler as the Pack plated four runs on five hits in the inning.
- Johnston answered with a shutdown inning on the mound, as he struck out two batters and only threw nine pitches in the bottom half.
- Butler walked in the ninth and came around to score on a single through the left side from Will Wilson to make it 5-0.
Â
Inside the Box Score
- Butler led the Wolfpack at the plate with a 2-for-4 outing, highlighted by two runs and an RBI.

Â
On the Mound
- Canaan Silver started on the mound and pitched 3.1 innings with three strikeouts, allowing just three hits and walked two.

- Andrew Blake came on to pitch the ninth and sat down the Spartans in order with a pair of flyouts and a looking strikeout.
- NC State pitchers have not allowed an extra-base hit since the fourth inning of the Elon game, as span of 25 innings.
