Head Coach Jennifer Patrick-Swift Earns 100th win at NC State
With the win, head coach Jennifer Patrick-Swift earned her 100th victory at NC State (24-12, 4-9 ACC). Over her four years at the helm, Patrick-Swift holds a 100-70 (.588) overall record.
Brittany Jackson led the offensive charge for the Wolfpack as she went 1-for-2 with a home run and a career-high four RBI. Michele Tarpey and Randi Farricker both posted two hits apiece while Tarpey added two runs to her stat line.
Maddie McPherson improved to 7-5 on the season as she earned the win in the circle tossing 3.1 innings only allowing one run while striking out two batters.
Louisville (18-14, 2-5 ACC) jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning after hitting two long balls in the frame. In the bottom half of the inning, Taylor Johnson scored on a wild pitch before Jackson hit her second homer of the season, a three-run shot to knot the game at 4.
In the sixth, Jackson plated a run off a sacrifice fly to the warning track in left field before Kaylee Lambrecht stepped up to the plate and pushed home two more runs with a single to right center field. The Cards responded with a solo homer in the seventh but was unable to complete the comeback as the Pack won, 7-5.
