Five players drove in multiple runs, Jake Knapp pitched six strong innings and North Carolina beat NC State, 12-2, on Saturday to extend its winning streak to five games and earn its first ACC series sweep of the year.
"For whatever reason, we just didn’t get it done today," Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. "It was a very poor effort from all the guys. We had an opportunity to sweep and we weren’t able to do that. Fortunately, we were able to take the series…It does leave a bad taste in your mouth losing that Sunday game."
NC State endured a disappointing end to 2022, as it was left out of the NCAA Tournament. But with Sam Highfill back in the rotation and a deep, powerful lineup at hand, the Wolfpack won’t stay down for long.
