NC State’s overall record (20-17) does not exactly scream “NCAA tournament team” at you, but the Wolfpack has the good fortune of playing in a good league, and it has a decent record (6-9) against the RPI top 50. It’s enough to have State among Baseball America’s “last four in,” at least as of this time last week. But I’m guessing dropping two of three at UNC didn’t alter much.
See, kids, this season isn’t a disaster! [laughs nervously while tugging at collar]
And now State’s schedule gets a whole, whole lot easier: the league slate ends with series against Boston College (12-22), Virginia Tech (19-20), Pittsburgh (16-17), and Clemson (30-7).
