Jacksonville, Florida – NC State Wolfpack Baseball Struggles at Jax College Baseball Classic

The NC State Wolfpack baseball team, ranked No. 12, faced a tough weekend at the Jax College Baseball Classic in sunny Jacksonville, Florida. Unfortunately, it ended on a sour note with a 10-3 loss to Coastal Carolina, capping off a winless weekend for the Pack. With this defeat, NC State wraps up the series with an unfortunate record of 0-3 for the weekend, bringing their overall season record to 3 wins and 4 losses.

The Game Breakdown

The weekend didn’t go according to plan for the Wolfpack. Despite their initial hopes, they struggled both offensively and defensively, contributing to their disappointing results. Early in the game against Coastal Carolina, things looked promising as NC State jumped out to an early lead. Luke Nixon kicked things off with a solid RBI double in the first inning, putting the Pack ahead 1-0. However, this would be one of the few highlights of the game.

After that encouraging start, the players hit a wall, managing to get only one runner on base in the next 16 at-bats. It was as if the momentum they had built crumbled like a house of cards. Coastal Carolina seized control, quickly turning the tables. By the sixth inning, they were leading 4-1, growing increasingly confident as they continued to capitalize on NC State’s struggles.

Offensive Woes Continue

4-3 in the sixth, the Wolfpack couldn’t maintain that upward trajectory. Coastal Carolina responded powerfully, putting the game out of reach in the seventh inning with an incredible inside-the-park grand slam. This jaw-dropping play propelled Coastal Carolina to a decisive 10-3 victory.

Defensive and Pitching Challenges

Looking Ahead

Season Recap

22-6 over three games in Jacksonville. Earlier in the week, they suffered a close 9-8 loss to Liberty, where they blew a lead in the final moments. It seems like NC State has quite a bit to work on if they want to turn things around.

Next Steps for the Pack

3 p.m. at Doak Field, the team is hoping to shake off this weekend’s struggles and show their fans what they’re truly capable of. With a little more focus and determination, there’s still plenty of season left to make things right!
