RALEIGH – N.C. State will have to play the NCAA baseball tournament without sophomore left-hander Jimmy Gillheeney, the Pack’s closer.
Wolfpack coach Elliott Avent said Wednesday night that Gillheeney, who missed last week’s ACC tournament, has been ruled out of NCAA play. Gillheeney was a first-team All-ACC selection after finishing the regular season with 10 saves and a 1.12 earned run average.
“I’ve told the team we’ve got to move on without him,” Avent said.
