This past weekend witnessed a monumental achievement as NC State triumphed over second-ranked Clemson in an impressive three-game series. Demonstrating exceptional offensive and defensive prowess, the Wolfpack outscored their rivals 26-8, extending their winning streak to seven games. This victory marked the first time this season that Clemson had suffered consecutive losses or lost a conference series. The series showcased standout performances from various players, including Brayden Fraasman's historic hitting display and Heath Andrews' stellar pitching performance.

In the opening game of the series, NC State unleashed a powerful scoring spree, amassing 14 runs to secure an early lead against Clemson. The Wolfpack maintained relentless pressure throughout the contest, notching runs in nearly every inning except the seventh. Junior right fielder Brayden Fraasman emerged as the star performer, delivering an extraordinary batting exhibition by going 5-for-5 with two consecutive home runs and contributing seven RBIs. His performance came close to achieving the elusive cycle, showcasing his dominance at the plate.

Moving into the second game, the Wolfpack continued their offensive momentum, recording 13 hits and launching two home runs. Sophomore pitcher Heath Andrews delivered his finest performance of the season, effectively silencing the Tigers' offense. Despite allowing an initial run due to a solo home run by Clemson’s Collin Priest, Andrews rebounded strongly, conceding just two runs on six hits while striking out a career-high nine batters over six innings. NC State capitalized on key moments, crossing home plate multiple times, highlighted by Alex Sosa's crucial three-run blast in the seventh inning.

The final showdown between the teams featured a compelling duel between starting pitchers B.J. Bailey of Clemson and Ryan Marohn of NC State. Both demonstrated remarkable endurance, combining for 14.1 innings pitched. Ultimately, Marohn prevailed, surrendering only one run compared to Bailey's three, thanks in part to another pivotal home run by catcher Alex Sosa in the sixth inning. Clemson managed a solitary run via Jarren Purify's home run but struggled offensively thereafter, collecting only three additional hits and striking out seven times in the decisive final frames.

With this dominant series sweep, NC State ascended to second place in the ACC standings. Their next challenge will be a road matchup against Miami, while Clemson aims to regroup and seek revenge in their upcoming series against fourth-ranked Florida State. Fans eagerly anticipate how these developments will unfold in the competitive college baseball landscape.
