NC State jumped out to a 6-0 lead by the 4th inning on Sunday as the Wolfpack cruised to a 7-0 victory over the Evansville Purple Aces, securing a series sweep in the season opening series.
The Pack got a great start out of David Harrison (6.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K), who was manning the mound for the first time in the red and white in nearly a year. Harrison looked as sharp as could be expected, and also benefited from an error-free defense behind him. Garrett Payne pitched scoreless frames over the 7th and 8th innings, allowing a lone hit while striking out two.
