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 wee
[See the full post at: Pack9 Walks Off…Twice]Nice writeup. Being out of town stunk for missing the twinbill yesterday. But…
Think about what the baseball team did today in the of not one but two must win games.
1. State had not had a walk off win since Game 1 of the Super Regional against Rice. Let that settle in. No walk off victories in 2014 (big reason they didn’t make the NCAA).
No walk off wins this year either…until today.
2. State was 0-6 in one run games this year.
3. State had lost 8 of their last 12.
Congrats Pack9!
Let’s have this start a streak.
If season ended today type stuff…
With the DH sweep and series win, Pack reclaimed the 7th seed and would still face UVa in one of the play in games. Wake/GT are now tied for the 8th seed, but I didn’t bother to figure their tiebreaker because they’d still play one another in the other play in game.
Carolina’s sweep of BC makes them the big winner of the weekend as they move up to the 4th seed, jumping Clemson and ND. BC dropped from the 8th seed to out of the field.
Miami and FSU are now tied for 2nd best ACC record overall, but again no tiebreaker necessary as the ‘Canes would automatically take 2nd seed as Coastal winner.
Current ACCT seedings…
1. Louisville 19-2
2. Miami 16-8
3. FSU 16-8
4. Carolina 13-10
5. Clemson 12-11
6. Notre Dame 12-12
7. NC State 11-12
8. Wake 11-13
9. Georgia Tech 11-13
10. UVa 10-14

Can someone smarter than me explain why Piedmonte was pulled so early with a low pitch count? Is he hurt or something?
The blown call at the plate you referenced: I was watching on ESPN3 – he nearly had him, but with the blind sweep of the hand, he caught him in the torso after the runner’s feet had already hit the plate. A little further over and he would have had him. What a terrible inning.
I was watching Saturday’s O’s/Sox game at the same time I was watching the 2nd Pack/Hoo game. Eerily similar – State/O’s held slim lead until a freak inning gave up the lead. Then, both won with a walk-off homer in the 10th. Always nice when the good guy wins.Not sure about Piedmonte. Didn’t look hurt that I saw, but it didn’t appear the mound visit was intended to pull him until after a brief discussion. I was surprised as well.
Speaking of the good guys winning, I greatly enjoyed watching the replay of Sunday’s Os/Bosox game.
As an aside, apparently the Saturday Os/Bosox game inside the stadium had a backdrop of some fairly intense civil unrest outside (protests re: a death in police custody). At one point, fans were told they couldn’t/shouldn’t exit the stadium until further notice. At least mildly surprising given where the stadium is now.
Yeah, they mentioned that during the broadcast. Also mentioned that it was a sold-out crowd, but it was pretty sparsely attended early on due to people not being able to get in. Buck was late, but was at a funeral; was unclear if he planned to be late or if it was because of the protests. Watching the Sunday game now. What an utter beatdown. Would be nice to be able to bag extra runs and disperse them throughout the season.
It was a long, cold, and sometimes wet day. But I made the trip from Fayetteville, and enjoyed 2 victories, over a team that had previously beaten Miami 2 out of 3. Just trust the pitching will continue to improve, as well as finding the right batting order, so that runners aren’t stranded in scoring position, and eliminating error. All possible! Go Pack!
Ingram picks Duke.
Too bad. I had heard that he could hit for power and avg.
Just watched the attendance-record-setting O’s/White Sox game. Rodon tore through the 8th inning in about 5 pitches.
Pitching in the bottom of the 8th down 6 runs is a good low pressure place to get your feet wet. 🙂

Pleased that he did well.
More pleased that the Birds roughed up Smartydijon early so that I didn’t have to root against Rodon (not as much at least).
Cardboard cut-outs should be stocked in every municipality with a MLB club.
…Well,maybe not Denver…
Everyone is too stoned to rip the city up.Same sentiments about Rodon. It’s easy to feel good for him when the team was on the losing end. They certainly did rough up the starting pitcher whose name I’m too lazy to look up the spelling of and not clever enough to come up with a smart aleck spelling such as Smartydijon.
Inflatable crowd? Do they still count in the headcount for attendance? I can see the wheels turning down the road (from NC State; not from me).
I’m pretty sure I saw this guy in the stands during yesterday’s game.
