Devonte Brown was just about all the offense NC State needed on Friday night in the Wolfpack’s series opening win over Georgia Tech, while Logan Adams and Chris Villaman combined to toss five innings of scoreless relief in the 8-6 victory. Brown went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, three runs scored, and three runs driven in.
Wolfpack starter Sam Highfill started off the game well enough, looking sharp in the 1st inning by setting down the Yellow Jackets in order. The rest of his outing, though, did not go as well. He walked in a run in the 2nd, pitched a scoreless 3rd despite a couple long drives by Tech, and then allowed a five-spot in the 4th with the aid of some poor defense.
