To be honest, NC State (17-6) wouldn’t have won 6-4 today at Pitt (13-9) if the Panthers hadn’t given up four unearned runs, committing four errors in the field. Nonetheless, the Wolfpack took advantage of Pitt’s mistakes, clinching their fifth straight weekend series to start the 2025 season.
NC State never trailed in the contest, getting off to a 2-0 lead in the top of the third. Senior shortstop Justin DeCriscio’s groundout brought home junior third baseman Matt Heavner, and junior left fielder Josh Hogue’s sacrifice fly brought home freshman center fielder Ty Head.
In the top of the fourth, redshirt sophomore catcher Drew Lanphere knocked in sophomore second baseman Luke Nixon with a single, giving the Pack a 3-0 lead.
