Wolfpack Earns Series Win Over Louisville
4/3/2022 3:51:00 PM | Softball
RALEIGH – NC State scored all of its runs in the first three innings and held off Louisville for a 10-6 Atlantic Coast Conference softball series-clinching win on Sunday afternoon at Dail Softball Stadium.
The Wolfpack's (25-13, 5-10 ACC) offense caught fire early while the defense stepped up at the end to earn its second conference series win this season.
Logan Morris had an outstanding day at the plate going 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs scored and a double. Randi Farricker Followed behind with a 2-for-4 outing to go along with two runs and an RBI while Michele Tarpey added a two-hit performance and an RBI.
Maddie McPherson earned the win in the circle to improve to 7-5 on the season. McPherson tossed 3.1 innings only allowing one run while getting five strikeouts.
Taylor Johnson started the scoring as she hit an RBI single in the first inning before Tarpey hit her own RBI single. NC State added its final run of the first off a wild pitch to take an early 3-0 lead. In the second, the Cardinals (19-15, 3-6 ACC) responded with a solo homer.
In the bottom half of the inning, Morris hit a bases-clearing double right before Farricker hit an RBI single to center field to increase NC State's lead to 8-1. Later in the same inning, Sam Sack hit her seventh home run of the season, a two-run blast to go up 10-1.
For the third time this series, Louisville's offense opened up in the fourth inning as the Cards scored four runs to avoid being run ruled. Louisville added the final run in seventh, leading to the final score 10-6.
Quick Hits
- NC State's 10 runs marked the eighth game this season where the Wolfpack scored 10 or more runs
- The Pack has hit multiple home runs in 16 games this season
- The Wolfpack is 7-2 against Louisville in the Jennifer Patrick-Swift era
Up Next
NC State wraps up its six-game home stand on Wednesday when the Pack welcomes Longwood to Dail Softball Stadium. First pitch is slated for 5 p.m. with the game broadcast live on ACC Network Extra.
