NC State would have clinched its first ACC Baseball Regular Season Championship tonight with a win over Stanford, but unfortunately, the Wolfpack lost 4-3 in extra innings.
Entering the contest, NC State sat in 1st place, holding a 0.5 game lead. All they needed to do was beat the Cardinal tonight and tomorrow. Nothing that any other team did mattered. Win, and you pull off something that hasn’t been done since 1986.
Fortunately, a loss doesn’t eliminate the Wolfpack from a shot at the #1 spot.
In order for NC State to still have a shot at the ACC Regular Season Championship with a loss tonight, the Wolfpack needed Duke to beat Georgia Tech and UNC to beat FSU.
