Pack Splits Senior Day Double Header with ECU
4/29/2023 5:55:00 PM | Softball
RALEIGH – The NC State softball team split their doubleheader with East Carolina Saturday afternoon. The Wolfpack honored its three seniors prior to game one – Rebecca Murray, Katlyn Pavlick, and Libby Whittaker.
The Pack advances to 18-32 on the season and the Pirates move to 27-24.
NC STATE 4, ECU 2
The Pirates wasted no time taking the lead as the first two batters recorded a hit. Bailee Wilson recorded a sacrifice fly, allowing Taudre Sinnie to score to get ECU on the board first. Freshman right handed pitcher Madison Inscoe stopped them from scoring again as she recorded her first strikeout of the afternoon to bring up out three.
Freshman Amanda Hasler's bat was hot in the bottom of the third with two outs. After MaKayla Marbury singled and Rebecca Murray walked, Hasler hit a three run bomb to center to give NC State the 3-2 lead.
Inscoe picked up her second strikeout in the top of the fourth and finished the afternoon with four innings pitched, two strikeouts, and one batter walked.
The Pack continued the momentum on the offensive side of things as they added another run in the fourth. With two on base and one out, Marbury singled through the left side to bring Taylor Ensley home to increase the lead.
To start the fifth, redshirt-junior Aisha Weixlmann entered the circle and recorded her first strikeout to end the top half of the inning. She finished the afternoon with two strikeouts and two innings pitched.
NC STATE 1, ECU 4
The Wolfpack brought the momentum from game one into game two as Goodwin led off with a single through the left side. She later advanced to second on a throwing error by the Pirates. The chance to get on the board was cut short after ECU picked up the third out to end the inning.
NC State tallied five hits by the end of the second inning and held a 1-0 lead over the Pirates. Freshman right handed pitcher Rylee Wyman started in the circle for the Pack and finished with 3.2 innings, four strikeouts, and one batter walked.
The Pirates found a weak spot in the Pack's defense as they recorded five hits in the top of the fourth, scoring four runs after a homer and double. With two outs, Weixlmann entered the circle and helped pick up the third out to stop the Pirates from increasing their lead.
The Pack struggled to regain momentum in the batter's box. Pavlick and Whittaker each hit a hard shot that was caught right before going over the outfield wall. Weixlmann finished game two with three innings, two strikeouts, and no batters walked.
NEXT UP
The Wolfpack heads to Pittsburgh to take on Pitt for the final series of the season and ACC play. Play begins Friday evening at 6pm on ACCNX.
