The NC State staff shut the Lancers down.
N.C. State trailed in two of three games but ultimately took care of business against Longwood, sweeping the non-conference weekend three-game set by scores of 3-2, 6-1, and 6-3. The six runs allowed were the fewest the team have yielded all season in a three-game series; State allowed eight runs in its previous best from-the-bump effort against UNC.
The bullpen gets much of the credit for the impressive moundsmanship. Joe O'Donnell got the win with four shutout innings of one-hit ball in game one. The sophomore righty improved to 6-3 with a 2.
