Holy heckstairs, what the shootballs just happened? I saw it and I don't know. It was good, that's for certain. Preston Palmeiro hit a walk-off double/inside-the-park-HR/little-league-HR in the bottom of the 12th inning on Friday night to give NC State a 5-4 win over Miami and clinch a spot for the Wolfpack in the ACC title game.
Palmeiro smacked a ball off the left-field wall, and probably had himself a double even with a decent throw--except the throw from left was awful. So bad that it eluded the infield. Palmeiro had third easily, and he was waved home; the ball beat him to home plate by a wide margin, but Miami's catcher couldn't handle it.
