HOW IT HAPPENED
-Highlighted by a two-run homer by Devonte Brown and Patrick Bailey's third grand slam in 11 days, the Wolfpack plated 10 runs on four hits in the first inning.
-The Wolfpack scored five more runs in the second to take a commanding 15-0 lead. Vojtech Mensik and J.T. Jarrett drove in a run apiece with clutch hits to the outfield, and Austin Murr went yard with a pair of runners on to score the other three.
-With four more runs by its offense in the third, the Pack had its biggest lead of the game with a 19-0 advantage. Back-to-back doubles by Brown and Luca Tresh scored the first run, then Jarrett's one-out double, his second of the day, down the left field line pushed Tresh across home plate.
-A Jose Torres sac fly followed by DeAngelo Giles' first career hit, a single to left field, plated the other two runs of the frame.
-Tanner Garrison's three-run homer in the fourth put Coastal on the board, but the Pack answered with three runs of its own in the bottom half of the inning.
-With Tresh on base after his second double of the day, Mensik, Jarrett and Torres strung together three consecutive RBI hits to regain the Pack's 19-run lead.
-Kyle Westfall's two-run homer to start the side, along with Jared Johnson's RBI single to left field and a 5-4-3 double play scored four more runs for the Chanticleers in the fifth.
-NC State responded with two more runs in the bottom half of the inning thanks to Tresh's groundout to third to score Brad Debo. Debo reached on a one-out single up the middle, and Lawson McArthur's double down the right field line moved him to third. Noah Soles followed up with an RBI double to center field to score McArthur.
