#Pack9 Erases 5-0 Deficit to Score Season-High 22 Runs at Truist Field
CHARLOTTE – NC State drew a season-high 12 walks and slugged 10 hits to post a 22-7 victory over Davidson Tuesday night at Truist Field. The Wolfpack's 22 runs marked a new season-high, scoring 20 runs over a four-inning span to blow out the Wildcats in Charlotte.
NC State (25-11) extended its winning streak to five straight games, recording its third victory in comeback fashion during the current streak after erasing an early 5-0 deficit to Davidson (21-14) on Tuesday night.
The Wolfpack scored 10 runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, flipping a 5-4 deficit into a commanding 14-5 lead. The Pack's 10 runs in the fourth marked a season-high for a single inning, surpassing a previous high of eight runs scored in an inning against UNCW on April 11.
The Pack slugged six hits, drew two walks and registered a pair of hit-by-pitches to plate 10 runs in the bottom of the fourth. Carter Trice started the rally with a leadoff double down the left-field line, scoring the tying run from second base when Cannon Peebles tripled to right center.
Kalae Harrison then put NC State in the lead for good with an RBI single, making it 6-5 Wolfpack with just one out in the inning. Will Marcy doubled before LuJames Groover III recorded a two-RBI single to extend the Pack's lead to 8-5. Back-to-back RBI walks from Parker Nolan and Trice then made it 10-5.
Peebles capped off the Pack's scoring in the fourth with a towering grand slam to left field, hammering an 0-1 pitch beyond the scoreboard in left field to stretch NC State's advantage to 14-5. Peebles tallied five RBI and seven total bases in just two at-bats in the fourth inning.
Eli Serrano III drove a sacrifice fly to center field to make it 15-5 Wolfpack in the bottom of the fifth. NC State scored five more runs to reach the 20-run mark for the second time this season, drawing four walks and recording an HBP in the five-run frame. The Pack needed just one hit, which was an RBI single from Serrano III, to take a 20-5 lead after the sixth inning.
Davidson scored its final two runs of the night in the top of the seventh to trim its deficit to 20-7. Carson Falsken lined out to right field in the bottom of the eighth, bringing home Matt Heavner from third base on the sacrifice fly to make it 21-7. NC State tacked on its 22nd and final run of the night before the conclusion of the eighth inning.
The Wolfpack used seven pitchers in the midweek victory with Rio Britton (2-1) earning his second win in an NC State uniform, striking out a career-high four batters over 1.2 hitless innings. NC State pitchers combined to tie a season-high 15 strikeouts on the night, highlighted by Andrew Shaffner striking out all five batters he faced.
Derrick Smith recorded the final three outs of the night, allowing just one hit and posting a strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.
The Wildcats jumped out to a 5-0 lead after scoring in each of the first three innings. Tyler Douglas stretched Davidson's advantage to 4-0 in the second with a two-run homer before a fielder's choice RBI from Henry Koehler made it 5-0 after the top of the third.
NC State began its comeback in the bottom of the fourth inning when Marcy crushed a two-RBI double to right center, trimming the Wildcats' lead to 5-2. Groover III then belted a two-run homer two pitches later to make it a 5-4 ballgame.
Four members of the Pack tallied multiple RBI on Tuesday, highlighted by Groover III and Peebles' five RBI apiece. Marcy (three) and Serrano III (two) rounded out the four NC State batters to drive in multiple runs. Marcy also led the team with four runs scored.
Brycen Champey (2-3) suffered the loss on the mound for the Wildcats.
NC State has now won 12 straight matchups against the Wildcats dating back to 2000.
UP NEXT
