In the first Major League start of his young career on Saturday night, Carlos Rodon overcame some early shakiness to settle down, regain his control and overpower the Cincinnati lineup for the most part, en route to notching his first Major League victory. Rodon tossed 108 pitches in 6 complete innings in the start, giving […]

Baseball: On The Road at Wake
Wolfpack Baseball hits the road to Winston-Salem this weekend to take on the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest (26-21, 11-13 ACC). The Pack9 made the most of their home cooking, as they come off of a 6-1 homestand which saw the Pack (27-18, 11-12 ACC) take series vs ACC foe UVa and OOC against Longwood […]
Baseball vs. Longwood
Wolfpack Baseball goes out of conference this weekend to take on the Lancers of Longwood University. Located in Farmville, VA, the Lancers compete in the Big South Conference. Currently they hold an overall record of 19-23, 7-11 in the Big South (9th), and have an RPI of 161. And without any extensive research, because I […]
Pack9 Walks Off…Twice
After a Friday loss (8-3 final) and a Saturday rain out, Wolfpack Baseball found themselves in need of a doubleheader sweep on Sunday to take this weekend’s all important series vs UVa. But at Doak Field on Sunday, there was little if any sunshine to be had. It was damp and it was cold. And […]
Down the Stretch – Baseball Edition
Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes it rains. With apologies to Nuke Laloosh, State has seen way too much of the middle and latter, and not nearly enough of the former of late. Obviously, they ain’t been breathing through their eyelids correctly. With 75% of the 2015 college baseball season in the rearview, Wolfpack […]
The NBA and NCAA Should Adopt Major League Baseball’s Draft Rules
Last night, after all was said and done in the NCAA Men’s basketball tournament, Head Coach Bo Ryan of Wisconsin was a bit salty about the way that Duke had structured its team around a group of one-and-done players: All the seniors that I’ve had — hard to say the word. But every player that’s […]
Pack9 takes last game of tight series with #8 FSU, 11-7
This weekend’s baseball series with 8th ranked Florida State was a golden opportunity for the Pack9 to improve on their RPI of 69 and strengthen their case for a berth in the NCAA Tournament. After generally outplaying the Seminoles on Thursday night behind starting pitcher Cory Wilder’s best outing of the season, 7 IP with […]
NC State Sheeeeeet strikes Trea Turner in MLB
You know that it is “NC State Shit” when an article reads — “No one in baseball has been in Turner’s position, now or ever.” This article highlights ‘The curious case of Trea Turner’…it is such a curious case that the Washington Post is writing about it. He is here with the Padres even though […]
Last Week In Baseball
Yes, I’m fully aware that this title is merely a thinly veiled rip-off. Apologies to Mel “How about that?” Allen. At least I didn’t steal his theme music….yet. – OK, so a week ago, Wolfpack Baseball was coming off a less than dazzling road trip, during which they saw their conference mark drop two games […]
Baseball Update
Now that there is some breathing room for Pack fans between NCAA basketball weekends (and we’re all infinitely happy to be BETWEEN NCAAT games, and not finished with games of course), I figured I’d jump in and give a quick update on what the Pack9 has been up to. When last we met, Wolfpack Baseball […]
