The Wolfpack moves to 21-12 on the season and 17-7 in non-conference play.
How it Happened
- Graduate infielder Michele Tarpey led off the evening with a double to left field. With two outs on the board, graduate Payden Bordeau hit an RBI single to get the Pack on the board, 1-0.
- Sophomore right handed pitcher Carly Maxton was tabbed the starter for the Wolfpack in the circle. She had two on base and one out on the board when she caught a batter swinging to pick up her first strikeout of the outing.
- Junior Teagan Thrunk reached base on a throwing error by the 49ers infield and was able to advance to second on the play. She would later score after a single from Tori Ensley brought her home.
- Tarpey singled to center field to record her second hit of the outing and move Ensley to third. With Taylor Ensley at the plate, Tarpey stole second and Ensley would then single up the middle to drive home her younger sister.
- With two outs on the board, junior Hannah Church smashed her 14th homer of the season to right center to push the Pack's lead to five in just the second inning.
- The third, fourth, and fifth innings were scoreless for both teams. The top of the sixth saw two members of the Pack round the bases after Church recorded a two-RBI single.
- The 49ers found momentum in the bottom of the sixth after a solo homer from Jenna Lord and a double from London Dirks allowed two to score.
- Freshman Kendall Simmers smashed a ball to left field to record her fifth homer of the season to push the Pack's lead back to six (8-2) in the top of the seventh.
- Maxton pitched six innings for the Pack and finished with four strikeouts. She was credited with the win and moved to 9-2 on the season.
- Wynne Gore pitched the seventh inning for the Pack and picked up one strikeout in the frame.
The Wolfpack will remain on the road but will head south to Tallahassee, Fla. to take on Florida State March 28 to 30. All three games will be streamed on ACCNX.
