As part of NC State’s 8-0 start to the 2022 season, the Wolfpack were playing so well I’m sure more than a few of us were already looking at Omaha hotels for June. The defense was shotty, but as could be expected for a squad replacing six position players in the field, and with one of the returnees manning a new outfield position he had yet to play during his Wolfpack career.
This past week, though... yeesh. The cracks in the defense spread into full on breaks while the hitting lapsed horrendously in its first taste of real pitching this year.
