Wake Forest Drops Series Finale to NC State
5/2/2021 5:09:00 PM | Baseball
Bobby Seymour and Chris Lanzilli hit back-to-back home runs twice in the contest.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest continued their hot hitting, but could not contain NC State's offense, falling 15-8 in the series finale on Sunday at David F. Couch Ballpark.
The Deacs (15-22, 7-19 ACC) had five different batters come around to score, led by three runs from Bobby Seymour. Seymour and Chris Lanzilli combined for four home runs and six RBIs to keep the Demon Deacon offense humming.
Brendan Tinsman joined Seymour with a team-high three hits on the afternoon, while Brock Wilken also tallied a multi-hit game as the Valrico, Fla. native knocked in a pair of singles.
The Wolfpack (22-14, 14-13 ACC) scored six unearned runs during the afternoon, serving as their insurance runs behind the nine earned runs. On the mound, the NC State staff limited the free baserunners to just three (one error, one walk, one hit-by-pitch).
Teddy McGraw and Cam Minacci each posted scoreless outings in relief, as the Wake Forest pitching staff combined to strike out 12 Wolfpack batters.
How It Happened
"We just didn't pitch it well enough to win today. Disappointing loss, obviously we had enough
offense to win today, just didn't get it done on the mound or defensively."
In the Spotlight
Bobby Seymour and Chirs Lanzilli hit back-to-back home runs twice in Sunday's contest. Wake Forest's No. 4 and No. 5 hitters combined to go 5-for-9 at the dish, plating six RBIs and scoring five runs of their own.
The duo combined to hit .407 (11-for-27) against NC State this weekend, scoring nine runs and smacking 14 RBIs.
On Deck
Wake Forest continues the home stand with a pair of non-conference games next week, beginning with Liberty at 3:00 p.m. on ACC Network.
The Deacs will return to David F. Couch Ballpark on Sunday, May 9 for the second game of a home-and-home with Elon.
