Yeah, the only thing I could really knock yesterday was Stone not running it out to 1st base on a grounder and allowing the base runner to get there on what should have been an easy out. That kept the inning alive in the 2nd for VT and the made us pay by scoring 2 runs. Outside of that, the team played a pretty solid game start to finish. VT also has guys in LF and RF with cannons. They made two pretty amazing throws to take runners off the base paths in the first two innings. It seemed to be enough to make us a little less aggressive later in the game.

Moved to 12 in Boyd RPI. Should be an easy series sweep against BC coming up.
4/8/2013 12:35:53 PM
JINXno, but it really should be an easy sweepalso the biggest difference form last year is that our bullpen is a strong point of this team

Boston College has only played 4 games at home all season. Beat Harvard last week and then got swept by Clemson.FYI: Tomorrow's ECU game is also Beach Day.Warren Nolan RPI is at 11 and SOS is 9th.[Edited on April 8, 2013 at 1:39 PM. Reason : rpi info]
4/8/2013 1:11:35 PM
beach day?
4/8/2013 2:09:26 PM
Beat ECU 2-0 with only 3 hits. Any details from anyone at the game?Have won 9 of the last 10.

Pretty solid defense from both teams. There were a lot of hard hit balls, but all of them on both sides seemed to be right at someone. The ball also wasn't carrying at all last night. There were a couple that looked like they might have a chance to go out or at least find a gap but they just seemed to hang and die in the air and just turned into long outs. Ratledge had a couple of really nice plays at 2nd. He definitely stole one hit on a diving catch up the middle and made a nice catch & flip to Turner to start a double play on another tough one. As many times as we made solid contact it was a bloop single that scored both of our runs.

gopack.com has highlights of the game. Not sure if they do this for every game but this is nice for those that can't make it.http://www.gopack.com/sports/m-basebl/recaps/040913aaa.html

4/10/2013 1:59:29 PM
Due to weather, double header tomorrow starting at noon.
4/12/2013 1:04:51 PM
Boston College's baseball "stadium" is shameful. Charlotte Christians' baseball field is 10x better
4/12/2013 11:26:10 PM
Rodon not on his game todayFirst inning- 3 runs, 2 hits, 3 walks, 2K[Edited on April 13, 2013 at 12:28 PM. Reason : Line]
4/13/2013 12:23:04 PM
Not sure what is up with Rodon right now. Team still pulled out the win 6-5 though, winning the 2nd game right now too.
4/13/2013 5:22:31 PM
Won Game 2 6-2.Game 3 is today at noon.
4/14/2013 8:21:33 AM
Got the sweep of BC with a 3-2 win. Stone had a no hitter going into the 7th and the hit that broke it up drove in a run. Our bats finally woke up in the 8th along with a couple of BC errors and the Pack got all 3 runs. The bullpen did well again with Woeck, Overman, and Sasser making an appearance.State is now 28-10 (11-7) with a midweek game at Charlotte on Tuesday and a series at Georgia Tech up next.
4/14/2013 10:44:15 PM
going to try and catch a few innings of the Charlotte game tomorrow. I have a game of my own later that night
4/15/2013 12:13:06 PM
Beat Charlotte 2-1. State scored 1 run each in the 1st and 2nd innings. Ogburn was perfect through 6 and then allowed 2 hits. Overman and Sasser pitched in the 9th. Charlotte's 1 run was unearned due to a fielding error with 2 outs in the 9th. The Charlotte runner on third scored easily, but the runner who was on first got caught between home and third with Austin tagging him out to end the game. Final out went 9-3-5-2First game at GT will be at 3pm and all games will be on ESPN3
4/16/2013 10:06:15 PM
ESPN3 FTW
4/17/2013 2:12:39 PM
Today's game is pushed back to 7pm due to forecasted weather.
4/19/2013 12:44:31 PM
Pack takes Game 1 13-4. Senay set a career high for RBIs and Turner has tied the school career stolen base record.
4/19/2013 11:31:59 PM
Not seeing the highlight videos on gopack.com for the last few games. I hope they start doing that again.
4/20/2013 12:08:00 PM
I think we can only do highlight videos for our home games.Currently up 4-1 Top 7.
4/20/2013 7:57:21 PM
What is our record with turner vs. without? Seemed as if we hit a lull with him out
4/20/2013 8:29:38 PM
With: 26-4Without: 5-6 Carlos with a complete game and State defeats Tech 6-2 to clinch the series. Going for the sweep tomorrow.
4/20/2013 8:49:02 PM

4/20/2013 10:01:23 PM

4/21/2013 4:33:28 PM
Sweeeep. Davidson in the midweek game before State gets Carolina at home next weekend.
4/21/2013 4:34:15 PM
is the Davidson game home or away?
4/21/2013 4:34:38 PM
With Clemson and FSU both losing today we are now alone in 1st place in our division.
Keep this up we can host a Super Regional. Should make big jumps in polls and RPI.
4/21/2013 6:39:47 PM
Also saw that softball got a sweep today as well and have won 12 out of 14. Both teams seem to be hitting their strides at the right time.Go Pack
4/21/2013 7:20:11 PM
First ever sweep of Georgia Tech in Atlanta. All games between now and the Duke series are at home.[Edited on April 21, 2013 at 8:32 PM. Reason : .]
4/21/2013 8:25:22 PM
Davidson game is at home this week. We keep playing well, and the next time we could possibly leave the triangle is for Omaha.
4/21/2013 8:59:08 PM
Saw this little nugget on Go Pack. GG team
4/21/2013 10:44:42 PM
RPI up to 8th.Moved up to 6th from 16th in Perfect Game's Top 25.
4/22/2013 12:04:13 PM

4/22/2013 1:32:01 PM
Awesome to see the team living up to expectations finally. Let's see if we can shit in UNC's cereal for once.
4/22/2013 1:52:07 PM
Tarran Senay name ACC Player of the Week. He hit .411 for the week and had 9 RBIs vs Georgia Tech.

6 ACC teams in top-25.We are no longer a basketball conference.On a more serious note, the ACC Baseball Tournament should be pretty amazing.
4/22/2013 3:53:18 PM
acc has been a soccer conference for a long time
4/22/2013 4:29:55 PM
^^ That actually happens almost yearly for the ACC and sometimes for the Big 12, SEC, or Pac 12 since the Big Ten and Big East are garbage at baseball. There are a few small schools that jump up in the rankings too like Rice, Wichita State, Cal State Fullerton, Long Beach, etc, but for the most part the ACC, SEC, Big 12, and Pac 12 normally dominate college baseball (although the ACC hasn't won a title in forever it seems)
