Reid Johnston made his first start of the 2021 season in the opener of NC State’s baseball series at North Carolina, and he made the most of it. The Wolfpack didn’t need another pitcher to toe the rubber on the evening as Johnston pitched a complete game in State’s 9-2 victory over the Tar Heels.
NC State jumped out to an early lead thanks to a massive Tyler McDonough solo home run in the top of the 1st inning. Johnston worked out of a two on, one out situation in the bottom of the inning to get State to the 2nd with a 1-0 lead.
