Pack Takes Down Syracuse 8-2
3/4/2022 9:20:00 PM | Softball
RALEIGH – NC State began Atlantic Coast Conference action with a bang as the Wolfpack defeated Syracuse, 8-2 in softball action inside of Dail Softball Stadium on Friday night.
The Wolfpack (17-2, 1-0 ACC) won its 12th ACC opener in program history and its second ACC-opening victory when playing the Orange (9-5, 0-1 ACC).
Aisha Weixlmann (7-1) went the distance to earn the win in the circle, tossing a complete game with nine strikeouts, tying her career high, while only giving up four hits.
Carson Shaner finished with a 2-for-3 night at the plate with three RBI and two runs scored. Brittany Jackson followed behind with a 2-for-3 performance, her fourth two-hit game of the season with two runs scored while Logan Morris extended her hitting streak to 13 games with a perfect 2-for-2 outing with an RBI, a walk and a run scored.
Shaner drove in the first run of the game with an RBI-single through the right side that scored Morris. One pitch later, Michele Tarpey hit a three-run home run to center field before Taylor Johnson blasted a solo shot to left field to give the Pack an early 5-0 lead after the first inning.
Syracuse tacked on a run in the second with a RBI single but Morris answered in the bottom of the second with her own single that allowed Jackson to score. In the fourth, the Orange added its final run of the game with a sacrifice fly to the warning track in center field.
Shaner stepped up to the plate with Maddy Schmeiser on first in the fifth inning and hit the first pitch she saw to center field, her team-leading eighth homer of the season, to allow NC State to win, 8-2.
Quick Hits
- NC State sits second in the country in home runs with 35 on the season
- Logan Morris has reached base in all 19 games this season
- Tonight's three-homer night marks the fifth time this season NC State has hit three home runs in a game
