Durham, NC--Â The NC State Wolfpack rallied for five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to overcome a 3-2 deficit on the way to a 7-4 win over the Tar Heels on Friday night at the DBAP.
After falling behind 1-0 in the first, the Heels rallied for three runs in the top of the third. CJ Egrie belted the first pitch he saw over the Blue Monster in left to tie the score at 1-1. Mandela Browman followed with a long, two-run homer to left-center for a lead that lasted until the seventh. Cooper Nicholson had a solo homer to left for the Heels fourth and final run in the eighth inning.
Browman had 2-3 night at the plate with two RBI and one run scored. Nicholson was 2-4 with one RBI and one run scored. Devin Russell was the only other Tar Heel with multiple base hits as he went 2-3 while scoring one run.
Eleven Tar Heels saw action on the mound: Caden Glauber, Folger Boaz, Walker McDuffie, Joey Ruller, Preston Crowl, Cameron Tarkenton, Jackson Rose, Jimmy Voorhies, Major Osbolt, Scott Doran and Tim Tyler.Â
Boaz and Tarkenton both retired the side in order in their one inning on the mound. McDuffie and Ruller both recorded scoreless innings. Voorhies gave up one run in his 1.0 innings while striking out three. Osbolt struck out two in his 0.2 innings, while Tyler struck out the only batter he faced.
