3/19/2025 12:09:00 AM | Baseball
KANNAPOLIS, NC- NC State Baseball made the most of its time in Kannapolis Tuesday night, scoring 13 runs across the first four innings while holding Davidson scoreless for a 13-0 win from Atrium Health Ballpark in the Cannon Ballers College Series Game.
Â
It was NC State's (15-6) ninth run-rule victory of the season and third shutout, as the Wolfpack won their fourth-midweek game of the season, surpassing their total of three from last season.
Â
Nine of the 13 RBIs came from three hitters. Chris McHugh had a three RBI night on two hits, which included his fifth home run of the season. Brayden Fraasman had a three-hit night, scored three runs, and drove in three. Â Luke Nixon doubled and homered to finish with three RBIs as well.
Â
Making his first collegiate start and seventh appearance overall, freshman Anderson Nance (2-1) earned the victory after going 3.2 innings, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out a career-high eight batters.
Â
Following Nance, Jaxon Lucas, Derrick Smith, and Jacob Dudan combined to allow just one hit, no walks, and five strikeouts.
Â
Davidson (6-13) starter Brycen Champey (0-5) only recorded one out before exiting the game with a final line of four hits, six runs, a walk, and a strikeout. The Wildcat's four hits were all singles.
Â
NC State was in control from the start, sending 10 men to the plate in the first inning, scoring six runs on four hits. McHugh started things off with a three-run home run. A Fraasman double scored Alex Sosa, who had gotten on base via a walk. Matt Heavner brought Fraasman in with a single to left field, and Ty Head used a sacrifice fly to score Nixon, who was on third.
Â
In the second inning, the Wolfpack continued to get their bats on the ball. Making his Wolfpack debut, Trenton Lyons doubled down the left field line and would come around to score after another Fraasman double. Nixon, who entered the game leading the team in doubles, added another to make it 9-0.
Â
Josh Hogue hit his third home run of the season in the third inning to make it 11-0. In the fourth, it became 13-0 after a two-run home run from Nixon. NC State recorded eight extra-base hits and was 4-9 with runners in scoring position.
Â
