NC State generated plenty of chances Sunday afternoon at the Doak at Dail, but time and time again couldn’t come through in the clutch. The Pack left the bases cluttered to the tune of 14 men left on—including leaving them loaded in the bottom of the ninth—in a 5-4 loss to North Carolina. The win gave the Heels their first ever three-game sweep over the Wolfpack in Raleigh.
If there were any positives on Sunday, it was the return of Johnny Piedmonte and the performance of Brock Deatherage. Piedmonte didn’t pitch well in his return from back problems—he allowed three earned runs in 2.
