NC State wins both ends of Saturday doubleheader, sweeps series vs Quinnipiac

NC State improved to 8-0 on the young season after winning both ends of a Saturday double-header over Quinnipiac, each game in dramatically different fashion.

The Wolfpack won the first game of the twin billing, mostly in spite of themselves. Poor pitching and defensive mental miscues put the Pack in a six-run hole by the 4th inning, and although the lead was trimmed to three by the end of the 5th, a three-run top of the 7th by Quinnipiac put the deficit back to six.

State entered the bottom of the 8th in a five run hole, but made a huge rally - led by a pair of two RBI doubles from LuJames Groover and Tommy White - to erase the entirety of it.
