Neither team managed a hit until the sixth inning, but NC State poured it on late to eliminate Army from the Raleigh regional. State’s first hit was a loud one, a home run from Evan Edwards that made the score 3-0, and Edwards capped the scoring with a solo shot in the ninth that made the final 11-1 in favor of the Wolfpack.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t all good news for the regional hosts, as Johnny Piedmonte was forced to leave the game early despite twirling a gem, and fellow senior Josh McLain tweaked a hammy and came out as well.
