The Wolfpack baseball team needed extra innings - and a little help from some ocean wind - to top the Kent State Golden Flashes in the Baseball at the Beach Tournament/Free-for-All Friday afternoon in Myrtle Beach.
With the game tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the 11th inning, NC State had men on 1st and 2nd with two outs when Patrick Bailey lifted a fly ball into shallow left field behind third base. The ball appeared to be headed for foul territory, but a stream of wind pushed the ball back into fair territory and beyond the reach of any Kent State fielders where it fell in for the game-winning hit, driving in Lawson McArthur from second base.
