Pack Can't Get It Done

There are just some games when everything you try is just wrong.  Sunday night in a possible win over TCU would send the NC State Wolfpack to their third  Super regional in four years the Pack made 21 outs hitting mostly at'em balls while TCU had three chalk hits.  On top of that the TCU pitcher carries a perfect game into the seventh inning before the Pack gets a base runner.

Down 5-0 in the fifth Elliott Avent brought in Wilder and said finish the game. We are saving everybody else for Monday night.  Take about take one for the team.  Wilder did what was asked by State loses their first game of the Fort Worth regional to the host team TCU Horned Frogs and now must play them again Monday night at 8 pm after an 8-2 TCU win.

TCU had earlier in the day knocked Stony Brook out of the tournament before they faced the Pack.  Talk about what if's. Should State win Monday to earn a Super Regional invite they just might get a chance to host if Texas A&M loses to Cal.  Those two teams have already played a 14 inning and 12 inning games Saturday and Sunday with each winning by a run.

TCU is the number four seed and Texas A&M a five and if both are out then State as a winner over the highest seeded team would host Cal.  First a major road block in TCU which seems like the sleeping giant but the Pack woke them up on Saturday night with the homer in the ninth.

UNC Wilmington is still alive after a 8-2 victory over Tulane.  Due to rain in Baton Rouge their elimination game against the top seed and undefeated LSU was scheduled for an 11:30 Start after the UNCW - Tulane game ended.  By rule no game can start after 11:00 pm so UNCW will play LSU at Noon Monday.  You can bet LSU has their attention on the Seahawks as the Tigers only managed a 2-0 win over the Seahawks Saturday night.

Sunday was not all that great a day for the ACC.  Notre Dame  lost twice without scoring a run in either game.  The Pack Lost.  Florida State possible game to send them to the Super regional was rained out.  Miami lost in their regional 3-0 to Columbia and play Columbia again Monday.  Louisville went undefeated in their Regional and advances to The Super Regional.  Virginia becomes the second ACC team in the Super regional beating Southern Cal 14-10.  Sounds like a football score.  That's happens sometimes as regional get toward the end and teams pitching starts dwindling.
