NC State and Coastal Carolina played a back-and-forth game on Wednesday night. Every time the Chanticleers would pull ahead, NC State would have a response. It looked like the Wolfpack were going to be able to pull out another one-run victory, but Coastal had the last retort in this contest, with a two-run home run in the top of the 9th providing the visiting team with the victory.
The loss drops NC State to 29-5 on the season, while Coastal Carolina improves to 23-11-1. The Wolfpack are just 2-3 in their last five games, but those three losses have come by a total of four runs.
