NC State needed a big rally late to avoid an upset loss to Radford on Wednesday afternoon in Raleigh, and thankfully the Wolfpack were up to the task, posting a 7-spot in the bottom of the 7th inning to overcome a five run deficit and take a 9-7 win over the Highlanders. With the win, NC State remains undefeated at 9-0. Radford, meanwhile, falls to 2-7 as what would have been a signature win slipped through their fingertips.
The Highlanders came into the game with a perfect underdog road team game plan, attacking NC State’s pitching early. State’s pitchers have been great at pounding the zone this year and Radford took advantage of that early.
