Tarpey Leads NC State to Series-Clinching Win
3/6/2022 3:08:00 PM | Softball
RALEIGH – Michele Tarpey of NC State softball racked up four RBI to help the Wolfpack clinch the weekend series against Syracuse with a 5-4 victory on Sunday afternoon at Dail Softball Stadium.
The Wolfpack (18-3, 2-1 ACC) answered a late rally from the Orange (10-6, 1-2 ACC) to earn its first ACC series win of the 2022 season.
Tarpey had a career day at the plate going 2-for-3 with a season-best 4 RBI with two doubles. Logan Morris followed behind with a 1-for-3 outing with a home run. Maddie McPherson went the distance in the circle to improve to 5-1 on the season. In 7.0 innings pitched, McPherson racked up four strikeouts with only walking one batter.
Syracuse scored first with a sacrifice fly in the first inning to take a 1-0 lead. Tarpey responded with an RBI-double to right center field to tie the game at one apiece. Once again, Tarpey hit a double to center field, this time clearing the bases to give the Pack a commanding 4-1 lead after three innings.
The Orange did not give up, as the team added three runs in the fifth off two singles to knot the game at 4-4. In the bottom half of the fifth, Morris stepped up to the plate and hit a solo homer to left field, her seventh of the season, to give the Wolfpack the 5-4 win.
Quick Hits
- Logan Morris extended her reached base safely streak to 21 games
- Michele Tarpey recorded her third two-hit game of the season
