After splitting a pair of games on Friday and Saturday, Louisville and North Carolina State squared off in a rubber match at Jim Patterson Stadium that had major ACC Atlantic Division implications.
The Wolfpack started off the same way they left off Saturday: scorching hot. After the top of the 1st inning, they held a commanding 5-0 lead after hitting three home runs in their first inning of work.
It did not take long for the Cards to respond, scoring four runs in the home half of the 1st inning. Levi Usher and Isaac Humphrey both drove in two runs apiece to bring Louisville within one.
