NC State snapped a four-game skid and completed a season sweep of UNC-Wilmington in the process on Tuesday night. The Wolfpack offense exploded for eight runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to turn this one into a runaway for State.
That fourth inning was a disaster all around for Wilmington, which not only surrendered five hits, but also committed two fielding errors and walked five batters, just to compound matters. Sometimes everything breaks at once.
Wilmington could have gotten out of the inning down just 3-2 but its second error of the frame kept State’s offense alive, later allowing for Chase Nixon to plate three with a bases-loaded double that opened things up to 7-2.
