If you thought the 18 inning State-Carolina game just 15 days ago was not enough N C State tried to out do that game as the bull pen throws eight scoreless innings seven in extra innings and the N C State Wolfpack will go to the College World Series for the first time since 1968 after they win a thrilling seven hour and twenty five minute marathon Super regional game over Rice 5-4. It is the longest game in Super Regional History.
Down 4-1 in the top of the ninth the Pack got off the deck to score three runs to tie the game and as in the Carolina game two weeks ago for the next three innings both teams had chance after chance to win only the other side wiggled off the hook. Then with one one in the bottom of the 12th inning rain delay came and fans and player headed for cover for about 85 minutes. When they came back both sides left their bats in the locker rooms. Pitching dominated the next four and two thirds innings. Then the magic Tarren Senay singled and came home on a Brett Williams singled with Senay running on the pitch he scored when the Rice right fielder failed to pickup the ball cleanly and the Pack got out of a botttom of the 17th jam to win.
The Pack will be watch at 7pm tonight as the Tar Heels and Gamecocks play the third game of their Super Regional after South Carolina blasted Hobbs Johnson and every pitcher that Carolina put in the game winning 8-0. The winner will play State in the College World series as they are all in the same bracket. The College World Series starts Saturday in Omaha Nebraska and at this point who plays what day is yet undetermined. One bracket plays Saturday and then the other bracket plays Sunday.
If you have watched the ACC tournament two weeks both Carolina and State played 18 innings and then in the Regional finals Carolina having to go 13 innings just to make it to the Super Regional and now tonight another 17 innings, if you don't like this then you never will like baseball.
Coleman Pitt Post 58 will begin a four day stretch as they play at home Monday night against Kinston. Tuesday they travel to Fleming Stadium in Wilson to take on Post 13. Wednesday is a road game to ECU to play Post 39 and then back home on Thursday to play Wayne County.
