NC State’s offense didn’t have any of the early trouble it did Friday, scoring five runs over the first four innings on the way to a 10-run outburst. Gino Groover, firmly in a groove—the Groover Groove!—got the Wolfpack on the board with a two-run shot in the first inning, and it turns out that would be plenty of offense for the pitching staff.
Matt Willadsen was absolutely filthy, scattering three hits over seven innings of work while striking out 13 and walking just one. Radford’s a bad team, but it’d be great if this is a sign that Willadsen is taking it up a notch down the stretch.
