After it swept Wake Forest in the final regular season series, NC State clinched the No. 3 seed in the ACC Tournament set for this week at Trusit Field in Charlotte.

In the early stages of No. 17 NC State’s series finale with No. 8 Wake Forest, it seemed like the Wolfpack’s Sunday struggles had arrived on a Saturday. The red and white entered the final game of the regular season 3-5 in the third game of an ACC series this season, and it appeared that statistic was going to ring true again. NC State trailed 5-1 after the first four innings, including an uncharacteristic error by right fielder Noah Soles. Graduate righty Logan Whitaker battled, but the Demon Deacons were seeing a bigger baseball than the Pack was against Josh Hartle. Then, well, the Wolfpack...

It took some time for NC State freshman left-handed pitcher Cooper Consiglio to get completely comfortable with the college game. He appeared to feel out the college game early in the season. It was not all smooth sailing, including eight runs allowed in 2.1 innings of relief against UNC-Greensboro in mid-March. The Palm Harbor, Fla., native did not know what to expect early in his Wolfpack career, but he learned as he went. Soon after, Consiglio corrected what went wrong in his outings earlier this year, and it paid dividends. The more experience Consilgio compiled, the more effective he beca...

Earlier this year, NC State freshman catcher Alex Sosa received a text from some of his baseball friends about the Wolfpack’s success against ranked teams this year. “They’re like, ‘Dude, if they’re ranked, you go after them?’” Sosa recalled. He didn’t think so, per say, rather they play every team hard. But it definitely looks as if ranked teams provide a new challenge for NC State — one it has risen to the occasion all season. The Wolfpack owns four ranked ACC series victories this spring, and it set the tone in the regular season finale in a loud way. No. 17 NC State used a seven-run eighth...

No. 17 NC State is surging towards hosting an NCAA Tournament regional, but for now, the Wolfpack is on the outside looking in. The red and white checked in as a high-ranking No. 2 seed in both Baseball America and D1Baseball’s bracket projections this week. Baseball America slotted the Wolfpack as a second-seed in the Terre Haute Regional, hosted by No. 12 national seed Indiana State. The Pack was projected to be joined by Cincinnati and Bowling Green in the regional. That pod would be set to face off with the winner of the Fayetteville Regional, hosted by No. 5 national seed Arkansas. While ...

NC State’s coaching staff appears to be complete. The Wolfpack is set to hire UMass assistant coach Brett Nelson, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported Wednesday night. Nelson brings a vast array of experience to the Wolfpack coaching staff, coaching at both mid-majors and at the Power Conference level. Nelson spent the past year with the Minutemen, where he assisted in guiding the team to a 20-11 (11-7 Atlantic 10). Before he made the trek to Amherst, Mass., Nelson was the head coach at Holy Cross for four seasons. During his time at the helm of the Crusaders, Nelson built the program from three...

During the early part of the season, NC State sophomore closer Derrick Smith was searching for consistency. He didn’t allow an earned run through his first three appearances — 1.2 innings in total — until a rocky five-run inning against Boston College in mid-March. Smith was in a new role for the first time with the Wolfpack: he was pitching every week. As he was getting comfortable in his new spot in the Pack’s bullpen, Smith did not have full control of his slider. That, in turn, made him a one-pitch arm and the Eagles smashed a pair of homers in that lone inning. But then something changed....

NC State junior forward Ernest Ross is back. He entered the transfer portal in April, later committed to UTSA, but the 6-foot-9 big man announced he was returning to NC State on Wednesday morning via social media. The Wolfpack has now filled all 13 scholarships for the 2024-25 season with Ross’ decision to rejoin NC State. A former four-star recruit, Ross played in 13 games and scored 4 total points during the Wolfpack’s 2023-24 campaign. He finished the year 2-for-11 from the field, including 0-for-8 from three. Ross, a joyful player in the locker room, provided key morale-boosting energy for...
