NC State jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on Virginia, but was unable to muster any subsequent offense and fell by a final score of 4-2. Virginia's prior loss in ACC Tournament play to Florida State made this a meaningless game as the winner of Friday's matchup between the Wolfpack and the Seminoles will move on to the tournament semifinals.
A second inning Patrick Bailey solo home run and a third inning Josh McLain RBI infield single staked the Pack to the early lead, but strikeouts (12 total) and an inability to take advantage of runners on base did in State in this one.
