I'd be really surprised if we've swept a DH with walk-off HR before. I certainly don't remember if happening since I've been going to State games.

4/26/2015 10:30:14 PM

Cory Mazzoni was called up to the Padres yesterday and looks like Jonathan Diaz is being called up by the Blue Jays for the Red Sox series.

No game tonight. DH starting at 2 tomorrow.

Swept Longwood. Campbell up next tomorrow at 6.

5/4/2015 10:02:03 AM

just put up 13 runs on Wake in the 7th inning with 11 consecutive batters reaching base

^ oh and we beat Campbell, for those of you not really following otherwise

5/8/2015 9:18:13 PM

not sure of tiebreakers, but here are standings as of this morning
UNC & Notre Dame play a doubleheader today after cancellation last night... I guess we should be pulling for Carolina to sweep, but that's so hard to do. Clemson plays non-conference series this weekend and FSU next weekend. Georgia Tech is playing Pitt and Virginia Tech appears to have the weekend off.

1. Louisville 21-4
2. Miami 19-8
3. FSU 17-8
4. UNC 13-10
T5. Notre Dame 12-12
T5. NC State 12-12

12. Boston College 9-17
13. Duke 8-18
14. Pittsburgh 7-20

5/10/2015 4:36:54 PM

The first tiebreaker is head-to-head. I think the 2nd tiebreaker is common conference opponents, but starting with the highest placed team.

5/11/2015 10:58:19 AM

I think a win tonight would guarantee us ACC playoff spot. Unless I'm reading it wrong.

5/11/2015 11:26:40 AM

You are correct. A W tonight makes us 14-12, thus at worse 14-15, and Wake 11-16, thus at best 14-16. Wake's last series is at Duke.

5/11/2015 11:48:01 AM

the ACC has really fallen on some hard times if THIS NC State squad is Top 5 in the conference.

5/11/2015 6:09:48 PM

Wasn't this another one of those "this is our year" years for UNC?

5/11/2015 6:49:25 PM

yeah, we looked pretty rough at the beginning of this season (and still do at times), but much every team in the conference outside of Louisville and Miami has been rather inconsistent this year. we've gotten hot against teams that we're battling for position in the standings, so that's helped a lot.

^ Carolina was ranked 15-20ish depending on the preseason poll. most polls had them ranked before getting swept this weekend, so they're not THAT far off of expectations. Virginia, meanwhile, was top 4 in every preseason poll (#2 in multiple) but is now unranked in most.

5/11/2015 7:39:00 PM

3-3 through 4 thanks to 2 Ratledge homers and a dumb pitching change when Johnny Piedmonte hadn't given up a single hit through 3 2/3 (scattered baserunners from a walk, HBP, and a couple errors)

5/11/2015 8:08:15 PM

WTF Deatheridge?

Dropped fly ball

5/11/2015 10:08:26 PM

I'm really surprised they only scored one on that. Deathrage has been arguably our best hitter over the past couple weeks, so I can't be too mad at him considering he's a freshman and our other options are Armstrong, McLain and DeJuneas

6-4 State at the stretch

[Edited on May 11, 2015 at 10:18 PM. Reason : ]

5/11/2015 10:45:20 PM

Dammit

5/11/2015 10:49:54 PM

trying to piss this game away

5/11/2015 10:53:37 PM

No one circles the wagons like the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.

5/11/2015 10:56:50 PM

whew. 3 more outs.

5/11/2015 11:00:41 PM

Whew. Way to get out of the self destructive jam.

5/11/2015 11:01:48 PM

Wake Forest's pants are weird.

5/11/2015 11:03:14 PM

Virginia had some weird pants during Sunday's DH.

5/11/2015 11:04:03 PM

^ glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that

5/11/2015 11:06:29 PM

Yep. Looked like a garter belt almost.

5/11/2015 11:08:46 PM

That should seal it

5/11/2015 11:11:23 PM

Boom!!!

5/11/2015 11:12:16 PM

buh bye

5/11/2015 11:12:48 PM

these announcers are in love with Wake's team and also don't know how the MLB draft works

5/14/2015 10:00:15 AM

36th in RPI and hosting #11 this weekend. Need 2/3 to stay ahead of that cluster in the middle.

5/14/2015 10:05:12 AM

I'll be there in section 10

5/14/2015 10:51:19 AM

^^ not necessarily, although that'd be nice. a few of the rest of the teams in the middle have fairly tough matchups this weekend too, but we need to win at least 1.
Notre Dame @ BC
Clemson @ FSU
UNC vs. UVA
Georgia Tech @ Miami
Virginia Tech @ Pitt

5/14/2015 11:19:12 AM

Blew a golden opportunity in the bottom of the first bases loaded with no outs fly out then a double play. Wilder hit two in the top of the second gave up two runs and got yanked.

5/14/2015 6:42:20 PM

Lost 4-3. All of the runners that scored for Louisville got on base via BB or HBP. Loading the bases with no outs and getting nothing in the 1st really sucked. No lead is really safe vs Louisville either. They were down 5-0 to FSU and won 6-5.

Back at it tomorrow. 6:30 first pitch and there'll be post game fireworks.

5/14/2015 10:18:53 PM

1. Louisville 24-4

5/14/2015 10:42:22 PM

Go Pack! Held on and won 3-2!

5/15/2015 9:43:44 PM

with our win and Carolina's loss, we are guaranteed to finish no worse than 6th and thus will avoid having to win a play-in game to be in pool play for the ACC Tournament.

Clemson is currently up 7-0 on FSU in the 7th (rain delay). assuming they hold on, we have to match what they do tomorrow to get the 5th seed.

5/15/2015 10:19:21 PM

Good fireworks show after the game. Tomorrow's game will be on Fox Sports South.

5/15/2015 10:36:34 PM

Of course we want to win today and give Louisville it's first ACC series loss, but glad we've already guaranteed pool play in the tourney.

5/16/2015 9:34:06 AM
