BLACKSBURG – Hits were at a premium for the Virginia Tech offense on Friday afternoon at English Field at Union Park against No. 6 NC State, and the Wolfpack were able to even the ACC series with a 14-2 victory setting up a rubber match on Saturday.
NC State (22-5, 8-3 ACC) scored multiple runs in five innings, including the first on a three-run home run by Will Wilson, all the offense starting pitcher Johnny Piedmonte needed for his fourth win of the season. Josh McLain led the Wolfpack offense with four RBI, while Brock Deatherage had four hits and scored three times.
