No. 14 Louisville dropped a high-scoring series to the NC State Wolfpack.
The series loss is only the second of the season for the Cards.
Friday
Louisville started off the series with a run off a passed ball and a shutout pitching to take a 1-0 lead after the first inning.
Then the Cards exploded for five runs in the fifth, including a wild pitch that sent Alex Alicea home and a two-run home run from Eddie King Jr.
NC State got another run in the bottom of the third, but Louisville would go right back and match it with a run in the top of the fourth.
