It wasn’t a great weekend for Wolfpack pitching in Blacksburg, and the Pack dropped two of three to Virginia Tech as a result. NC State allowed 21 runs on Friday—six in the third, 11 in the seventh—on the way to a 21-10 defeat in the series opener. State then dropped an 8-2 decision on Saturday.
Fortunately, NC State got a strong start from Canaan Silver on Sunday: he threw six innings and surrendered just one run on two hits. The offense got off to a quick start, plating three in the first inning, including a Devonte Brown solo shot to lead off the game.
