NC State and high expectations. This never doesn’t work out, right? Alas, it’s not working out for the lifeless Pack 9, a club that was ranked as high as 6th in some preseason polls. The Pack completely fell apart against their old buddy Maryland this afternoon in the Irish Classic, walking seven Terp batters in a 9-2 rout. State, which played this one at the USA Baseball Complex in Cary, has lost three in a row to fall to 5-5.
Cory Wilder set the tone by failing to retire a single one of the four batters he faced before getting the quick hook.
