ACC: We're playing, and we have scoring to prove it

By Glenn Tanner - May 24, 2007

The first pitch of the UNC-NC State game came at 10:10.

The first run came at 10:12.

Both teams are swinging the bat, and both teams have put a run on the board after one inning.

Reid Fronk smacked the first pitch of the game into the right field corner for a double, a quick out later, soon-to-be National Freshman of the Year Dustin Ackley drove a pitch up the middle to give UNC a 1-0 lead. Pack pitcher Eric Surkamp allowed another hit, but got a 6-4-3 DP to get out of the inning.

In the bottom of the inning, UNC ace Robert Woodard walked leadoff hitter Dallas Poulk, then Pat Ferguson blasted a double to wall in left-center to make it 1-1. Woodard regrouped and retired the next three hitters, two on strikeouts.
