Game One Recap
The Pack tried battling back late but was unable to send any runners across the plate in game one.
Sam Sack and Carson Shaner recorded a hit in the contest with Michele Tarpey also registering a hit as she tallied her seventh double of the season. Brittany Jackson recorded a season-high two walks in the game, her team-leading 18th and 19th walks of the season.
Maddie McPherson was dealt the loss in the circle to move to 9-7 on the year. McPherson tossed 6.0 innings giving up three runs on seven hits while striking out two batters.
The Wolfpack had two key opportunities to push home a couple of runs beginning in the first inning as the Pack was able to load the bases with two outs, but a strikeout ended the threat. In the final frame, Tarpey hit a double to begin the inning before Shaner tallied a single.
The Yellow Jackets (30-12, 10-10 ACC) were able to keep the Pack scoreless as they forced three consecutive ground outs to end the game.
Game Two Recap
Offensive struggles continued in the second game for the Wolfpack despite being able to get on the board.
Taylor Ensley and Logan Morris combined for both of the Pack's hits in the contest with Morris adding a walk to her stat line. Aisha Weixlmann moved to 12-7 after taking the loss with a stat line of 3.1 innings, seven hits, six runs and four strikeouts.
The Wolfpack scored its sole run in the first inning as Sam Sack hit a sacrifice fly to center field that scored Kaylee Lambrecht from third.
