NC State beats Virginia Tech 3-1 behind Sam Highfill’s gem
Travis Long/Raleigh News & Observer/Tribune News Service via Getty ImagesThere wasn’t much offense to be had on Friday night, but NC State got the better of it thanks largely to Sam Highfill’s excellent pitching performance. Highfill pitched 6-2/3 innings of scoreless ball, allowing just four hits while striking out six.
The Wolfpack got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fourth inning with a line-shot home run to right field by Austin Murr.

Due up: Tatum, Jarrett, Murr
