Out of Leftfield: NC State Knocks Off #2 Louisville

Tommy DeJuneas dove to try to rob Brendan McKay’s liner down the leftfield line but couldn’t make the outstretched grab, resulting in a double that put runners on second and third with one out in the top of the ninth. Just eight warmup pitches later, DeJuneas, a freshman two-way player out of Charlotte’s Providence High, was trying to nail down a shutout of the nation’s second-ranked team. He was greeted rudely with a single that plated a pair, bringing Louisville to within a run at 3-2, but DeJuneas got dialed in and struck out Will Smith and Blake Tiberi to end the game.
