Box Score RALEIGH, N.C. - The Norfolk State softball team fell to the Wolfpack of North Carolina State 10-1 on Wednesday in a midweek nonconference game at Dail Stadium in Raleigh, N.C.

The Wolfpack opened a lead early in the game that the Spartans could not overcome as NC State defeated NSU 10-1 in five innings. 

NC State posted two big innings to start the game scoring four runs in the bottom of the first while sending six runs across home plate in the bottom of the second to go up 10-0 in the first two frames. 

Norfolk State held the North Carolina State off the scoreboard in the third and fourth innings, while NSU put a single run up on the board in the top of the fourth inning to hold off the shutout. The Spartans lone run came off a solo homerun from Gabby Vaughan in the top of the fourth after the two leadoff batters grounded out.  

NSU returns to the diamond tomorrow, Thursday April 27, when they face the Eagles of NC Central in a rescheduled MEAC contest. First pitch is set for 12 PM at the Thomas Brooks Stadium in Cary, NC.
