RALEIGH – NC State hit three home runs en route to a 4-2 victory over Villanova in non-conference softball action at Dail Softball Stadium on Tuesday night
The Wolfpack (15-2) has totaled 30 home runs this season in just 17 games. Heading into tonight's matchup, NC State ranked fourth in the nation in home runs while being fifth in the country in homers per game (1.69).
Leading the way for the Pack was Carson Shaner who recorded her third two-hit game of the season as she finished 2-for-3 with a run scored and a RBI. Michele Tarpey followed behind with a 2-for-3 day at the plate with a run scored.
Maddie McPherson (4-1) earned the win in the circle after pitching 5.0 scoreless innings with a career-high tying nine strikeouts while only walking one batter.
Villanova (7-8) took an early 2-0 lead in the second inning off a fielding error. In the bottom half of the inning, Shaner cut the deficit in half with a solo homer to center field, her team-high seventh home run of the season.
Later in the inning, Libby Whittaker entered to pinch hit and on the second pitch of the at bat, Whittaker crushed a two-run home run to center field to give NC State a 3-2 lead. Kaylee Lambrecht recorded the Pack's final run of the game with a solo leadoff homer to left field in the fifth inning.
Quick Hits
- Libby Whittaker's home run was the first pinch-hit homer by the Pack this season
- Kaylee Lambrecht recorded her team-best ninth two-hit game of the season
- Logan Morris extended her on-base streak to 17 games
Up Next
NC State will hit the road for the first time since opening week as the Wolfpack travels to face Elon on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on FloSoftball.
