Pack Drops Double Header to UNC
4/23/2023 4:48:00 PM | Softball
RALEIGH – The NC State softball team (16-31, 6-15) dropped the final two games of the series with UNC (23-25, 11-9) in front of a sellout crowd on Sunday at Dail Softball Stadium.
The capacity crowd marked the fifth-consecutive sellout for NC State's program dating back to the Apr. 14 series opener against Clemson, marking a new program record for the longest sellout streak in the 20-year history of NC State softball. The series sellout marked the second consecutive and first time in program history that back-to-back series have been sold out.
NC State 2, UNC 4
The Wolfpack fell in the series' second game, surrendering runs in the second, third, fourth, and seventh innings.
The Pack got on the board in the bottom of the third inning, with a single from Rebecca Murray drove home Makayla Marbury to trim the Tar Heels' lead to 2-1.
NC State's second run came in the leadoff spot in the seventh inning, as a solo shot to right field from Kaylee Lambrecht cut North Carolina's advantage to 4-2. Lambrecht's second home run of the season was the only threat to the Tar Heels in the final frame, with UNC clinching the series in the opening game of the doubleheader. Rylee Wyman took the loss for the Wolfpack, allowing three runs and five hits over five innings of work while striking out three. Aisha Weixlmann tossed the final two innings of play for the Wolfpack, allowing one run while striking out one batter.
NC State 3, UNC 5
The two teams got off to a slow start but it was the Wolfpack that swung first and got on the board. In the bottom of the third the Pack recorded five hits, one of which was a homer from Hannah Goodwin that brought in two. NC State attempted to increase the score, but three were left on base at the conclusion of the inning.
The Tar Heels responded with a two run homer of their own from Kiesten Licea. After tying it up two all, freshman MaKayla Marbury drilled a ball to left field with two outs in the bottom of the fourth, regaining the lead for the Wolfpack.
With two outs on the board, Alex Brown recorded an inside the park homerun that brought in three to give the Tar Heels the 5-3 lead. Tar Heel ace Lilli Backes entered the circle in the bottom half of the frame in hopes of stopping the Wolfpack from scoring.
Freshman Madison Inscoe recorded four strikeouts in her seven innings in the circle. The game marked the ninth complete game in the circle for the Chesapeake, Va. native.
NEXT UP
The Pack returns to Dail Stadium on Wednesday April 26 at 2pm to host Norfolk State. The meeting will be broadcast on ACCNX.
