Perhaps the weekend sweep at the hands of Boston College was the smelling salts NC State needed to wake up in what thus far has been an underwhelming performance in 2017. The Pack left Boston at 20-20 overall, but back-to-back midweek shutouts have lit the flame of hope yet again. After pounding NCCU 13-0 Tuesday, the Pack nine handcuffed rival ECU Wednesday in Greenville in a 6-0 shutout.
Sean Adler, who apparently has been demoted from Friday night starter in favor of Johnny Piedmonte, got the nod and fanned seven over 5.1 shutout innings, including getting the side looking in the third.
