Johnny Piedmonte pitched seven scoreless for NC State on Friday night, and this was an extremely necessary pitching performance. The Wolfpack scored the first seven runs of the game, four of which came off a pair of home runs, and State won 7-4.
Will Wilson gave NC State a 6-0 lead with a massive three-run shot in the fourth inning. Andy Cosgrove also got a hold of a Josh Mitchell pitch in the following inning, giving the Pack a 7-0 lead. Both shots were no-doubters to left field.
Mitchell struggled badly early on and NC State jumped on him for three runs in the first inning.
