Raleigh, NC – The baseball game scheduled for April 22, 2025, between the No. 25 ranked NC State Wolfpack and the East Carolina University (ECU) Pirates has been canceled due to inclement weather conditions in the area. Following discussions between both programs, it was mutually agreed that the game will not be rescheduled.

This postponed game marks a change in momentum for the Wolfpack, who recently secured a victory against ECU. In their previous encounter on April 21, 2025, NC State triumphed with a decisive score of 4-1. The Wolfpack displayed a dominant performance, scoring four runs on nine hits without accruing any errors, while limiting ECU to one run and three hits.
The standout for NC State in this recent win was freshman pitcher Anderson Nance, who exhibited remarkable control and strength on the mound. Nance achieved a total of five strikeouts and did not allow any runs in five innings, improving his season record to five wins and one loss. Such an impressive outing reinforces his growing reputation as an essential part of NC State’s pitching rotation.
In addition to Nance’s performance, junior designated hitter Josh Hogue contributed significantly by hitting a solo home run in the first inning, effectively establishing momentum for NC State early in the game. Senior shortstop Justin DeCriscio also made notable contributions, going 2-3 at bat, including an important RBI in the ninth inning that further solidified NC State’s lead.
Adding to the defensive efforts, sophomore closer Jacob Dudan showcased his skills by securing a save in the game. He struck out two of the three batters he faced during the ninth inning, further emphasizing NC State’s overall strong performance.
As NC State prepares for the upcoming series against Clemson, the team will look to maintain their momentum and build on their recent successes. The cancellation of the ECU game may provide the Wolfpack with extra time to strategize and recover before facing one of the top-ranked teams in the nation.
The weather-related cancellation highlights the unpredictable nature of college baseball, where scheduling can often be affected by environmental conditions. For fans and players alike, the priority remains ensuring the safety and quality of competition.
With the cancellation of the ECU game, NC State fans will focus their attention on the highly anticipated series against Clemson, looking forward to a clash between two ranked teams. As the Wolfpack gears up for this challenge, their recent performance will serve as a confidence booster as they aim for continued success in their season.
