100%

Hopefully Mahron is back at some point. Hes the key imo. We can piece 1 start together, but 2 is impossible

No expectations at this point. Win and make the tourney....who knows

Marohn or no Marohn- team needs to hit and score runs. Pitching has been good enough most every weekend. Hitting and scoring runs has not. We've seen glimpses of what this lineup can do when guys are on, just need more of it.

Agree. Obviously the injury bug has hit us hard with Marohn and Dudan (and now Ryan). But the biggest issue is our lack of hitting consistently. Andrews gave up 4 runs on Friday. Not his best stuff but that should be good enough to challenge for a win. What did we do? Nothing from the bats. 3 hits, no runs. Yes the VT pitcher is very good but other teams that we're competing against for making the tourney had more success against him. And it's been that way all year. Very disappointed with the bats this year.

I'd bet the entire McLamb kingdom (my double wide and my Kia) that NC State does not play A&T.
