Series now split 1-1
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Pack softball team defeated Syracuse, 3-2, Friday afternoon at Skytop Stadium.
The Wolfpack (14-25, 5-9) started off with a bang as sophomore Hannah Goodwin slammed a ball over the left field wall to record her fifth homer of the season. The Pack finished the top half of the first with a 1-0 lead over the Orange.
NC State was hot to open the third as junior Gracie Roberts hit her second career home run to center field to lead off. Freshman MaKayla Marbury then singled up the middle and later made her way to third in hopes of adding a third run to the board. Amanda Hasler and Katlyn Pavlick were then walked, loading the bases for Haley Haislip. With a 2-2 count, the junior grounded a ball to third and the ball made it to first before her to bring up the third out. The Pack ended the inning with two hits.
The Orange attempted to get one in scoring position in the bottom of the fourth, but after singling to left, Kelly Breen attempted to make it to second. She was out at second after Rebecca Murray threw to Taylor Ensley who tagged her out.
After the Pack picked up two outs in the bottom of the sixth, the Orange managed to get two into scoring position after a double by Breen. Yamila Evans took the box for Syracuse and lined out to Marbury at short, ending their chance of getting on the board.
Murray led the team off in the seventh inning and drilled a ball over the left field wall to pick up her sixth homer of the season. The hit put the Wolfpack up 3-0 to help secure the win in game two of the series. Hasler took her fourth shot in the box with one out and singled up the middle. Fellow freshman Gabi Wilson entered to pinch run, but was left on base after the Orange picked up two more outs.
The Orange started the bottom of the seventh by getting hit by a pitch and hitting an infield single to get two on base with no outs. Syracuse ended up putting two runs on the board, but a fly out to Katlyn Pavlick in left ended their chances of winning or sending it to extra innings.
Right handed pitcher Aisha Weixlmann pitched all seven innings and recorded five strikeouts on the day. The redshirt-junior moves to 6-7 on the season in the circle.
NEXT UP
The Pack will return to Skytop Stadium on Saturday to battle the Orange for the series win -- first pitch is set for 12pm on ACCNX.
