Box Score (.pdf)

RALEIGH, N.C. – In an Atlantic Coastal Conference Opening Weekend statement, No. 15 Georgia Tech outscored No. 8 NC State 25-9 on the weekend, including a 8-4 win on Sunday on Doak Field at Dail Park, to improve to 3-0 in ACC play.

The Yellow Jackets (6-1, 3-0 ACC) also captured their first sweep of an ACC opponent on the road since 2011 as the Wolfpack dropped to 2-4 and 0-3 in the league.

Offensively, Tech was once again electric, jumping out score four runs in the top of the first, thanks largely to two doubles. From there, the Jackets at least matched any run scored by NC State the rest of the way to maintain the lead.

Austin Wilhite continued his stellar play at the plate, going 2-for-4 and hitting his first home run of the season and 10th of his career. Drew Compton had his multi-hit day off two hits and a double for two RBI, while Jake Holland (2-for 4, double) and Luke Waddell (2-for-6, double).

On the mound, Tech used six pitchers overall on the day. LHP Sam Crawford went the first 3.2 innings, allowing just a run, before RHP Ben King (1-0) dealt a terrific inning of work total, getting out of a bases-loaded jam.

NC State was led by Austin Murr, who went 2-for-4 with a double for the game, while starter LHP Chris Villaman (0-1) received the loss, allowing four runs on three hits in 0.2 innings.

The 15th-ranked Yellow Jackets will host crosstown foe Georgia State on Tuesday, March 2 at Mac Nease Baseball Park. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. and will be broadcast live on ACC Network Extra ad WREK 91.1 FM.
