N.C. State showed some resiliency, and got a little help from Wake Forest, to get back in the win column in the ACC baseball standings.
The Wolfpack scored the deciding runs in the sixth inning, with the help of a hit by pitch and a balk, to take an 8-5 win over the Demon Deacons on Friday night.
N.C. State (37-12, 16-9 ACC) won its sixth straight game, and snapped a four-game losing streak in conference play, with a roller-coaster win in the series opener.
The Wolfpack led 5-0 after four innings with a three-run home run from Brett Kinneman, his first in ACC play since April 8, in the first inning and a two-run single by Will Wilson in the fourth.
