The fourth inning struck again. In the last three games the Bulldogs have now scored a combined 26 runs in the fourth frame plating 11 runners against NC State, 8 against UCF and 7 today against Northwestern.
The Wolfpack scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth to extend the game to the seventh inning and avoid the run-rule off a sac-fly to left and a two-RBI single up the middle.
The Bulldogs now hold a 9-1 all-time series advantage against the Wildcats.
