RE: NC STATE BASEBALL

Never gave up! Exciting finish!!!

GO PACK!!!

(the U blew it!)

RE: NC STATE BASEBALL

Well, pretty sad it took Miami blowing it to get the win, but at least they won.

RE: NC STATE BASEBALL

not really "blowing it", when you're too scared to give the HOTTEST hitter in the ACC (coming into today) a pitch to hit.

NCSU INTIMIDATED their way to a W today... something they'll likely be able to do tomorrow as well.

WOOT!!! GO PACK!

round 2, 1-0!

Leave it to Hans to come here with THIS perspective.

A win is a win is a win, dude.

And I suppose State had absolutely nothing to do with Miami "blowing it", eh Hans?

If we had been the underdog, and blew the game the way Miami did, you would be here saying our opponent played down to the competition, but found a way to win (the way good teams do).

RE: NC STATE BASEBALL

Yep. a win is a win. Miami might have fell apart in the 9th inning, but State had a lot to do with that. They out hit Miami 13-7 and had 2 hits in the 9th. They also tied the game on a grounder to 3rd which Miami had no play at the plate and the error had nothing to do with the run that tied it. And while the Miami pitcher was wild, a lot of pitchers would have trouble finding the strike zone with Mathews up and the bases loaded or even the winning run at 3rd in the bottom of the 9th. I really think if the pitcher would have thrown a strike, it would have been a sacrifice fly at the least, but most more than likely a hit or HR. Anything is possible but Mathews is too good of a hitter and too hot to choke in that situation.
