STARTING PITCHERS
TBD (NCSU) vs. TBD (UNCW)
SERIES HISTORY
Tuesday will mark the 93rd time the Wolfpack and Seahawks have met in program history, as NC State leads the all-time series, 73-19.
The teams met earlier in the season on March 23 in Wilmington, N.C., and the Pack earned a 5-3 win. Down 2-0 after the first two innings, NC State managed to score a combined five unanswered runs in the fourth through eighth innings and then held off a late rally by the Seahawks in the ninth.
NC State has won 16 of the last 17 meetings between the teams, including the last seven contests in the all-time series.
LAST TIME OUT
NC State picked up its fourth series win of the season on March 30-May 2 in its ACC matchup at Wake Forest. The weekend proved to be a slugfest as it earned a 13-7 win, highlighted by a season-high five homers, in the series opener, and then after being unable to overcome an early 8-0 deficit in its 14-11 loss in game two the Pack defeated the Demon Deacons, 15-8, with a season-high 20 hits on Sunday in the rubber match.
The Pack was scheduled to host Elon on May 4 in a midweek contest, but it was canceled due to inclement weather in the area.
SCOUTING UNCW
The Seahawks are currently on a five-game win streak after sweeping James Madison last weekend and taking two of three against William Mary two weekends ago at home. Thanks to those series wins, UNCW currently ranks second among the South Division of the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) standings and is third overall among the nine teams.
UNCW was tabbed the preseason favorite for the South division of the Colonial Athletic Association, while Landen Roupp, Cole Weiss, Noah Bridges, Adam Smith and Luke Gesell all received preseason recognition from the conference.
Heading into Tuesday, its pitching staff owns a combined 3.57 earned-run average which ranks 20th in the NCAA, and is averaging 8.52 strikeouts per game.
Offensively, UNCW leads the CAA in four different categories and is averaging 9.09 hits and 6.00 runs per game. Brooks Baldwin (.328) and Kip Brandenburg (.310) pace the team at the plate, while Baldwin's team-leading 12 homers rank second in the CAA and Brandenburg's 13 doubles on the year lead the league in the category.
