No. 15 NC State’s win streak grew to 11 games thanks to a dramatic 2-1 victory over Charlotte on Tuesday night.

But now the Wolfpack, 11-7 in the ACC and two games behind Atlantic Division-leading Florida State, steps back into ACC play for a three-game set at Georgia Tech starting Friday before returning home April 26 for three games against No. 1 North Carolina.

Against Charlotte, the Pack (29-10 overall) scratched out a run in the first and another in the second to take a 2-0 lead. That was enough for starter Ethan Ogburn (3-2), who retired the 49ers’ (22-14) first 18 batters to take a perfect game into the seventh. A base hit from the first batter of the seventh broke it up, but Ogburn cruised for another 1 1/3 before leaving with just two hits allowed.
