Wolfpack Drops Saturday Contest
3/5/2022 4:06:00 PM | Softball
RALEIGH – NC State was unable to slow down Syracuse's hot bats and suffered a 9-3 loss in Atlantic Coast Conference softball action on Saturday afternoon inside of Dail Softball Stadium.
The Wolfpack (17-3, 1-1 ACC) had opportunities to put some runs on the board but the Orange's (10-5, 1-1 ACC) defense stepped up to limit the Pack from adding to its score.
At the plate, Libby Whittaker paced NC State with a 1-for-1 outing with two RBI while Alaina Smith finished the day 1-for-2 with a walk. Sam Gress (6-1) suffered her first loss of the season in the circle as she posted a stat line of 2.2 innings, five runs and six hits.
Syracuse bats started early as the Orange jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead after three innings. In the fourth, Whittaker entered the game and recorded a pinch-hit two-RBI single to left field to bring NC State within two at 4-2.
Syracuse responded by tacking on five runs, three in the fifth and two in the seventh to take a 9-2 lead. Logan Morris recorded an RBI single up the middle for NC State's final run of the game.
Quick Hits
- Logan Morris has reached base in all 20 games this season and extended her hit streak to 14 games
- Libby Whittaker recorded her third two-RBI game of the season
Up Next
The rubber match between NC State and Syracuse is set for noon on Sunday with the game broadcast live on ACC Network Extra.
