June 7, 201610 yr After losing a gut-wrenching regional championship game at TCU last year, NC State was again ousted prior to the Super Regional in cruel fashion. You may remember that NC State led TCU 8-1 with 2 outs in the 8th inning last year. TCU came back to win 9-8 in 10 innings after five walks, four errors, two balks and two passed balls by the Wolfpack in the final three innings. They scored 8 runs on 5 hits. BRUTAL. Yesterday, NC State survived their HC Elliott Avent's explosion and subsequent 2 game suspension for arguing with the umpires to win 8-1 and force another game with Coastal Carolina. The game was delayed by rain prior to starting and then an in-game rain delay happened. At 12:05 AM this morning, with the bases loaded and 1 out with NC State leading 5-3 and Coastal Carolina batting in the top of the 9th, the rains came. Game was delayed to 2:00 PM today. Here's how it went: Groundout to score a run, 5-4 NC State w/ 2 outs & runners on 1B & 2B. HBP on an 0-2 pitch after fouling off 2 pitches. Bases Loaded Single to score 2; 6-5 Chanticleers Single to score 1; 7-5 CCU NC State goes meekly 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 9th. Season over!
June 7, 201610 yr Oh that's brutal. Is there a more disappointing athletics program in the country? Massive underachievers in basketball and football as well.
