Fittingly on his senior day, Josh McLain put away the final out on a liner to center to cap NC State’s sweep of Wake Forest. McLain, who spurned the Los Angeles Dodgers to return to Raleigh for his senior campaign, filled the box score with two runs scored, a two-run triple, a sac fly, a stolen base, and he was hit by a pitch for good measure. His triple put the Pack up 6-5 in the sixth and State cruised to a 10-6 win from there.
The win was the eighth straight for a Pack squad that will host a regional and still has designs on being a national seed.
