JT Jarrett rescued NC State from itself on Saturday, both at the plate and in the field, in the process putting together what was probably the most prolific game of his career.
It’s been a rough weekend for State’s bullpen, which surrendered a 4-1 lead on Friday and then fumbled away an 8-3 lead on Saturday. The good news is that NC State only lost one of these games.
Chris Villaman entered in the fifth on Saturday with the Pack up five runs, and this was an ideal scenario all around, what with the bullpen ace capable of going long and finishing the game in to level the series while working with a comfortable lead.
