Wolfpack Concludes 2024 Season With Sweep Over Pitt
5/4/2024 4:37:00 PM | Softball
RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State softball team capped off its 2024 season with a 4-2 victory over Pitt (17-32, 6-18 ACC) on Saturday afternoon, completing a three-game sweep of the Panthers at Dail Softball Stadium.
NC State (30-23, 6-18 ACC) broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the sixth with back-to-back RBI base hits from Michele Tarpey and Kaylee Lambrecht. Tarpey's RBI triple off the left-field wall pushed the Wolfpack ahead at 3-2 before Lambrecht lined a single to center field to extend the Pack's advantage to 4-2.
Madison Inscoe (9-7) entered Saturday's series finale with the score tied at 2-2 and tossed 2.1 hitless innings in relief to earn the win. Inscoe struck out three batters while allowing just one walk.
NC State starting pitcher Rylee Wyman and Pitt starter Adriana Romano each tossed three scoreless frames to open the game before Ellie Goins crushed a two-out, two-run homer to put NC State ahead 2-0 in the fourth. Goins robbed multiple extra-base hit efforts from Pitt prior to her go-ahead home run, scoring Hannah Goodwin for the two-run advantage.
Pitt's KK Esparza answered Goins' two-run shot with a two-run homer of her own, knotting the score at 2-2 in the top of the fifth.
Inscoe also exceled at the plate in the Pack's season finale, notching a multi-hit performance with a pair of singles. Lambrect (2-for-3) and Tarpey (3-for-3) also recorded multi-hit performances in the victory. Lambrect also registered the 100th hit of her college career in Saturday's win.
Olivia Stefanoni (5-11) suffered the loss for Pitt after allowing two runs over 1.2 innings pitched.
