Pack picks up second win in a row

After Amanda Hasler doubled to right field later in the inning, Bailey Edwards entered as a pinch runner and was then moved to third base on a flyout. Edwards proceeded to score on a wild pitch, with NC State moving ahead 7-0 on the miscue from the Phoenix.
Elon picked up its first run in the top of the fourth after Payton Swart crossed home plate after Bella Devesa flied out to right field. The Phoenix then picked up their last two runs in the top of the fifth after Claudia Penny singled up the middle.
Graduate Katlyn Pavlick drilled a ball past the left-field wall in the bottom of the fifth to tally three RBI's and increase the Pack's lead to seven. Three batters later, Libby Whittaker singled down the left field line, bringing Nadia Sykes across the plate to end the game 11-3.
The Wolfpack's 11 runs were the most in a single game this season, in addition to a season best three home runs.
Freshman Madison Inscoe picked up her third win in the circle for the Pack and added three more no hit innings to her record.
