#16 NC State (32-16/16-9) bounced back this evening, defeating #4 UNC (37-11/16-10) 8-5 in Game 2 of a three-game series, snapping a three-game ACC losing streak.
Junior Dominic Fritton was outstanding for the Pack, though he didn’t factor into the decision. Fritton notched a quality start, giving up two earned runs in 6.1 innings while striking out seven. After allowing four or more runs in five of his last six starts, tonight’s performance from Fritton was a breath of fresh air.
Senior shortstop Justin DeCriscio got things started for NC State in the top of the first with a sac fly that brought home sophomore second baseman Luke Nixon.
