Wolfpack Defeats Norfolk State in Five
4/26/2023 3:53:00 PM | Softball
All nine starters tallied a hit in the five innings
RALEIGH – The Pack softball team beat Norfolk State, 10-1, Wednesday afternoon at Dail Stadium.
NC State started with a bang as sophomore Hannah Goodwin led off with a single and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Graduate Rebecca Murray also singled, but immediately advanced to second on an error by the Spartans second baseman, which allowed Goodwin to score. Freshman Amanda Hasler slammed a ball to right field to reach first and allow Murray to reach third. With runners on the corners, Taylor Ensley took the batter's box and singled to bring Murray home. Shortstop MaKayla Marbury recorded her sixth double of the season and added an RBI to her season as Hasler scored. Junior Kaylee Lambrecht was the final batter for the Pack to record a hit in the first as she singled, allowing Ensley to reach home. The Wolkfpack finished the first inning with six hits and four runs to take an early lead.
Freshman pitcher Wynne Gore recorded her first strikeout of the afternoon in the top of the second. The start in the circle was the third of her freshman campaign.
The Wolfpack had all nine starters record a hit before the end of the second inning as Katlyn Pavlick recorded a three run homer and senior Libby Whittaker recorded her second homer of the season to add two runs on the board. At the conclusion of the second inning, all nine starters for the Pack recorded a hit on the afternoon, marking the first time that has happened this season.
After taking a 10-0 lead over the Spartans, coaches Deven Boland and Carson Shaner brought in six defensive changes; Haley Haislip to catcher, Madison Inscoe to first, Ensley to shortstop, Nadia Sykes to third, Bailey Edwards to left and Gabi Wilson to center.
The Spartans recorded one run on the afternoon, a solo bomb from Gabby Vaughn. The one hit was the first one hitter for the Wolfpack since 2022 when Maddie McPherson did it against the Spartans.
NEXT UP
The Wolfpack will host East Carolina for the final home series of the season starting with a double header on Saturday April 29. Play will begin at 2pm with game two to follow 30 minutes after the conclusion of game one.
