Seventh Inning Rally Falls Short as Pack Falls to Georgia Tech in ACC Opener
3/7/2025 6:49:00 PM | Softball
ATLANTA – Despite an attempt at a seventh inning rally, the NC State softball team dropped its conference opener at Georgia Tech, 2-1, Friday evening in Atlanta.
The Pack moves to 15-8 overall and 0-1 in ACC play.
How it Happened
The Pack will return to Mewborn Field at Georgia Tech to take on the Yellow Jackets for game two of the series on Saturday, March 8. First pitch is set for 3pm on ACCNX.
The Pack moves to 15-8 overall and 0-1 in ACC play.
How it Happened
- Sophomore right handed pitcher Carly Maxton earned the start in the circle for the Pack and picked up her first strikeout in the bottom of the second.
- Graduate infielder Michele Tarpey recorded the first hit of the outing in the top of the fourth when she doubled down the right line.
- The Yellow Jackets picked up their first hit in the bottom of the fourth with a single to center field. A two run homer by Gracyn Tucker allowed Georgia Tech to take a 2-0 lead with two outs.
- Tarpey picked up her second hit of the outing in the top of the sixth with a single to shallow right field.
- Junior catcher Hannah Church led off the top of the seventh with a single to center field and freshman Kam Munson entered to pinch run. Fellow junior Teagan Thrunk worked a 3-1 count before being thrown ball four to occupy first as Munson shifted to second.
- A wild pitch would allow both Munson and Thrunk to move into scoring position. Munson would eventually score on a wild pitch while Hannah Goodwin was in the box to get the Pack on the board. Goodwin would later be thrown ball four after working a full count to head to first as Thrunk remained on third.
- The Yellow Jackets struck out the final Wolfpack batter to end the Pack's attempt at a late rally.
- Maxton threw the complete game and finished with five strikeouts. She moved to 5-2 on the season in the circle and it marked her seventh complete game this season.
The Pack will return to Mewborn Field at Georgia Tech to take on the Yellow Jackets for game two of the series on Saturday, March 8. First pitch is set for 3pm on ACCNX.
