RALEIGH
N.C. State’s baseball team has been through enough recently that it didn’t need much of a reason to celebrate.
A 10-1 win over North Carolina on Saturday was good enough. So was winning the series with the Tar Heels for the first time since 2011 and securing the No. 5 seed in the ACC tournament.
The Wolfpack (34-18, 15-13 ACC) will be in Pool A with No. 1 seed Miami, the No. 4 seed and the winner of the play-in game between the No. 8 and 9 seeds.
UNC’s ACC tournament fate will be determined by the second game of a doubleheader between Boston College and Georgia Tech on Saturday.
