NC State clinched a spot in the College World Series with an 8-5 victory over Georgia in Athens in the deciding Game 3 of the NCAA Athens Super Regional. This win marks NC State's fourth appearance in the College World Series. The Wolfpack's victory means there will be four ACC teams and four SEC teams competing in Omaha. Georgia's season ends with a 43-17 record. The game was a significant turnaround after Georgia forced the deciding game with an 11-2 win in Game 2. NC State's achievement is historic as they have now reached the Men's Final Four, Women's Final Four, and Men's College World Series in the same year, joining Louisville (2013) and Texas (2003) in this accomplishment. NC State will face Kentucky later this week, with the first pitch of the Opening Round scheduled for Friday at 2p ET.
