NC State 8 Campbell 2
RALEIGH, N.C. – The offense took the suspense out of this game early, and Clayton Shunick did the rest. Staked to a 7-1 lead after two innings, NC State’s ace righthander battled through uncharacteristic command problems to twirl a tidy two-hitter through seven innings Friday night as the 18th-ranked Wolfpack defeated Campbell 8-2 at Doak Field at Dail Park.
NC State, which won for the 17th time in its last 21 games, improved to 31-13 on the season. Campbell fell to 17-29.
Shunick, who improved to 6-4 on the season and lowered his ERA to 2.18, was not his usual self. The pinpoint control was not there, evidenced by three walks and three hit batters, but after yielding a two-out single to Carlton Floyd in the first and a leadoff homer to Mike Causey in the second, Shunick shut the Camels down. He walked a batter in the second, hit one and walked one in the third, and hit another in the sixth. Despite allowing eight baserunners, Shunick finished strong, retiring 12 of the last 13 men he faced before handing the ball off to the Sam Brown to start the eighth.
