NC State 8 UNC 6
CARY, N.C. – After struggling offensively and losing four times in five games, NC State needed a morale boost and a character-builder. It got both Saturday in an 8-6 come-from-behind victory over North Carolina in the second game of a three-game Atlantic Coast Conference series at the USA Baseball Training Complex.
The Wolfpack, which improved to 15-9 overall and 5-6 in the ACC, carried a 2-2 tie into the bottom of the sixth inning, only to have the baseball gods conjure up a four-run inning for the Tar Heels on three hits, two walks, two wild pitches, a sacrifice bunt and a balk against starter Eric Surkamp and reliever Jake Buchanan. That gave North Carolina a 6-2 lead, but the Wolfpack rallied against the leading pitching staff in the conference, scoring three runs in the seventh and three more in the eighth to hand UNC only its second loss in its last 12 games.
Wake Forest 4 FSU 2
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Behind six shutout innings from starter Garrett Bullock, Wake Forest handed No. 2-ranked Florida State its first ACC loss of the season with a 4-2 defeat of the Seminoles on a rain-soaked Saturday afternoon at Hooks Stadium.
The Deacons snapped their six-game losing streak and improved to 12-12 overall and 5-5 in the ACC. The Seminoles saw their six-game winning streak come to an end, falling to 22-3 overall and 10-1 in conference play.
UVA 9 VT 2
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Behind a dominating complete-game effort from Pat McAnaney (Sr., Syracuse, N.Y.), the Virginia baseball team defeated Virginia Tech, 9-2, Saturday afternoon in ACC play at Davenport Field.

McAnaney matched the complete-game performance of Jacob Thompson (Jr., Danville, Va.) from Friday night. It marked the first back-to-back complete games by Virginia since 2004 when Joe Koshansky and Matt Avery recorded consecutive complete games in wins over George Mason and Princeton, respectively, in the NCAA tournament.
