After losing a lead late in both of its first two games in the ACC tournament, NC State came out on the right side of the heroics Friday night in a 7-5 win over Georgia Tech. Stephen Pitarra tied the game with a two-out, two-run single in the top of the ninth, and Brock Deatherage won it in the 12th with a two-run homer, the Pack's third of the game.
Brett Kinneman and Chance Shepard went back-to-back in the second to put the Pack up 3-0 in the early going. It was Shepard's second homer in as many days and 13th of the season.
