Brian Brown had a quality start for NC State against Delaware on Sunday afternoon, but the Wolfpack’s pitching staff would eventually falter for the first time this weekend. The Blue Hens scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning to propel them to a 5-4 victory.
Brown allowed two runs over six innings and was replaced by Dalton Feeney, who promptly walked the first two Delaware batters of the seventh. He was then replaced by Austin Staley, who beaned the first batter he saw, loading the bases with nobody out.
The margins are thin in baseball, and when you can’t get out of your own way, it tends to hurt.
