Gress Tosses One Hit Shutout
3/8/2022 8:08:00 PM | Softball
RALEIGH – NC State pitcher Sam Gress was dominant in the circle as she led the Wolfpack to a 10-0 five-inning win over NC Central on Tuesday night in non-conference softball action inside of Dail Softball Stadium.
Gress tossed a complete-game shutout, her second of the season, to improve to 7-1. She only threw 47 pitches in the game and allowed just one hit on the night.
Libby Whittaker and Brittany Jackson both went 2-for-3 at the plate with three RBI and a run scored. Michele Tarpey followed behind with a 1-for-2 outing alongside a run scored and two RBI.
NC State (19-3) started on fire as the Wolfpack took a quick 4-0 lead in the first inning off a RBI-single by Tarpey and a three-run homer courtesy of Whittaker. In the second, Jackson hit a double that scored Kaylee Lambrecht.
Carson Shaner hit her team-best ninth home run of the season, to increase the Pack's lead to 6-0 before Jackson drove in two more runs in the third off a single. NC State took a 9-0 lead into the fourth as Tarpey walked in the final run of the third inning.
Taylor Ensley hit a double in the fourth inning that allowed Maddy Schmeiser to score, leading to the final score of 10-0.
Quick Hits
- With the two home runs tonight, NC State has a total of 38 home runs in 22 games which ranks top four in the country
- Logan Morris drew two walks in the game, extending her reached base safely streak to 22 games
