NC State splits Sunday doubleheader at BC, drops another series

NC State came painfully close to sweeping a doubleheader this afternoon and winning its first league series, but another bullpen implosion proved costly—and for good measure, there was a defensive gaffe to finish off the Wolfpack’s 8-7 loss to BC in game two.

After taking the first game 12-2, NC State led 7-2 in the second as the game headed into the bottom of the sixth inning. A mere 12 outs from a nice confidence-building day. But Sam Highfill, who also pitched earlier in the day, allowed a four-run BC rally in that bottom half. Justin Lawson was able to work out of a one-out jam with runners on the corners to maintain the narrow lead.
