One their own, an inside-the-park home run and a walk-off victory are two of the most thrilling sequences in baseball. Together, they’re sort of magical.
NC State’s Preston Palmeiro — yes, Rafael’s son — propelled the No. 6 seed Wolfpack to a 12-inning victory over 2-seed Miami (FL) in the ACC tournament on Friday, hustling out an inside-the-park homer (technically a walk-off double with a little help from a throwing error), to earn the 5-4 win.
NC State will face Florida State in the championship on Sunday.
