NC State’s poor defense reared its ugly head again on Sunday, costing the Wolfpack any chance it had at salvaging the final game of the weather-shortened series against Notre Dame. State ultimately fell by a final score of 11-4. Five of Notre Dame’s 11 runs were unearned.
The Wolfpack have now committed 25 errors in 15 games this season. Last year’s team committed just 36 errors over their 56 games.
The defense wasn’t the only issue for the Pack. Wild pitches allowed three Fighting Irish runs to cross the plate. In a game lost by seven runs, eight were pushed across due to either poor defense or an inability to keep the ball in front of the catcher.
