DURHAM, N.C. (AP) N.C. State's Gib Hobson and Adam McLaurin combined for a four-hit shutout as Duke fell Friday to the 23rd-ranked Wolfpack, 22-0.<br>
<br>
Javier Socorro doubled and Brett Bartles, John Berger and J.J. Koterba all provided singles, but that was all the Duke offense could muster, not even getting a runner past second base.<br>
<br>
Senior right-hander Greg Burke took the loss. The Wolfpack got to Burke for two runs in the first on a pair of walks, a single and a stolen base.<br>
<br>
After that half-inning, neither team had a baserunner until the top of the fourth, when a pair of walks and double by Brian Aragon gave the Wolfpack a 4-0 lead. Hobson retired the first 10 Blue Devils before allowing a one-out infield single to Bartles in the bottom of the fourth.<br>
<br>
N.C. State got four more in the top of the fifth to double its lead to 8-0. Aaron Bates singled home another run. In the seventh inning, Aragon sent one over the right field wall to give the Wolfpack a 12-0 lead.<br>
<br>
The Wolfpack put up seven more in the ninth, two coming on a dropped fly ball, to wrap up the win.<br>
<br>
The Blue Devils (13-34, 4-21 ACC) and Wolfpack (35-13, 14-11 ACC) meet again Saturday afternoon.<br>
