Quite a start to the ACC Tournament for Brian Brown. The N.C. State left-hander struck out a career-high 10 in six dominant innings and Curt Britt followed with three innings of one-hit relief, striking out four more, as the Wolfpack won 3-0.
N.C. State got all its runs with two outs - Joe Dunand and Ryne Willard singled in runs in the first and Andrew Knizner delivered the third run with a single in the second. After Dunand's single put the Wolfpack up 1-0, color commentator Dan Bonner said: "that's a big run for N.C. State."
Thanks, Dan!
The teams combined for 26 strike outs in a game that had a 2 1/2-hour rain delay at the start.
Other than uncovering the hidden truths of baseball (runs = good), Bonner had a strong Baseball Phrase start. He struggled a bit in the middle and late innings, but here's his top six from the first few frames:
6. "You put it in your back pocket"
5. "Sawed him off inside"
4. "Crooked numbers"
3. "Pitch to contact"
2. "He's really in a pickle now"
1. "The N.C. State faithful"
