NC State has now won 11 straight baseball games, defeating Virginia Tech 6-3 in Game 2 of their three-game series in Raleigh this weekend. The Wolfpack has won all four three-game series to start the 2025 season.
After junior third baseman Matt Heavner hit a two-run home run (his second of the year) in the bottom of the second inning, putting the first points from either team on the scoreboard, the Hokies scored a run in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings, giving Tech a 3-2 lead after six frames.
Heavner tied the game back up in the bottom of the seventh with a sacrifice bunt, and sophomore outfielder Jet Gilliam hit a pinch-hit sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth to give the Pack their first lead since the fourth inning.
