The NC State softball team (14-9 overall, 3-0 ACC) tallied three wins over the weekend while hosting the Hyatt Place Invitational tournament at Dail Stadium. 

The Wolfpack dropped the first game of the tournament to the Longwood University Lancers, 5-1 and was only able to muster up four hits on the game to go along with six strikeouts.

The Pack was unable to get the bats going in the second game of the tournament as well, but pitching proved to be enough to grab a win. The team topped the Lipscomb Bison 1-0 in extra innings behind senior pitcher Emily Weiman’s 18 strikeouts, breaking an NC State record.

The team’s next challenge came from the Binghamton Bearcats. The Bearcats fell victim to an impressive combined pitching effort from Weiman and sophomore pitcher Courtney Mirabella. The two pitchers were able to surrender just one hit to the Bearcats and led the Pack to its second shutout win of the tournament, winning 7-0.

The No. 21 Missouri Tigers proved to be too much for Wolfpack in its first game on Sunday, topping State 13-3. as the team struggled to get anything past the Tigers at the plate despite using three different pitchers during the game. 

The final game of the tournament for the Pack came against the Fordham Rams. The Wolfpack was able to pitch yet another shutout on its way to a 5-0 victory to close out the tournament.

State will travel to Greensboro to take on the UNC-Greensboro Spartans on Wednesday.
