#Pack9 Homers Four Times, Completes Season Sweep Over UNCW
4/30/2019 10:20:00 PM | Baseball
RALEIGH – No. 20 NC State baseball went yard four times in its 11-3 win over UNCW on Tuesday evening at Doak Field at Dail Park, marking the most home runs the squad has hit in a single game this year to complete its season sweep over the Seahawks.
After building a 9-0 lead through the first four innings, the Wolfpack scored double-digit runs for the 15th time this season to improve to 34-12 overall.
Meanwhile, UNCW falls to 23-24 on the year.
Quick Hits
-Dillon Cooper put the Pack on the board in the second inning with his two-run double to right center. Brad Debo ripped a one-out single to right field and J.T. Jarrett drew a two-out walk, and a passed ball allowed the pair to threaten for Cooper.
-In the third, all five of the Pack's runs came via home runs. Evan Edwards and Patrick Bailey launched back-to-back solo shots on one out to double the Pack's lead.
-Terrell Tatum then crushed a three-run shot to right field, extending his team's lead to seven, after Tyler McDonough walked and Debo tallied his second hit of the game with a single up the middle.
-NC State tacked on two more runs in the fourth inning to take a 9-0 lead. McDonough took first on a one-out hit-by-pitch, and Debo drove him home with his third hit of the game, a double to left center.
-After Debo advanced to third on a wild pitch, Tatum singled up the middle to tally his fourth RBI of the night.
-The Seahawks avoided the shutout in the fifth with two runs on a pair of hits and error.
-In the fifth, Edwards went yard for the second time in the contest with another one-out solo shot to center field. He now ties Will Wilson for the most on the team this year with 13.
-Cooper trotted in on a wild pitch in the sixth after he laced a one-out triple up the right field line, extending NC State's lead to nine.
-With runners at the corners on no outs in the ninth, the Seahawks added a run on a passed ball. After another passed ball put a UNCW runner at third, Tatum caught a line drive in right field and threw home to Luca Tresh for the game-ending double play.
Inside The Box Score
-Cooper was a homer away from hitting for the cycle, turning in a 3-for-5 performance.
-Debo also tallied three hits in his outing with a pair of singles and double, scoring three runs and driving in one.
-Tatum's four RBI was a season high, and his 2-for-5 performance marked the fourth time he's turned in a multi-hit game this year.
-McDonough extended his reached base streak to 15.
-Edwards' pair of homers in his 2-for-4 outing ties his career high for a single game.
On The Mound

-Relievers Evan Justice and Kent Klyman both tossed 2.0 innings and fanned four batters apiece.
