RALEIGH, N.C. -- Brett Kinneman belted his third home run of the series and 12th-ranked North Carolina State banged out 17 hits en route to a 9-0 shutout of Furman in baseball action Sunday afternoon at Dail Park.

The win, the fifth straight by N.C. State (7-1), completed the Wolfpack's three-game series sweep of Furman (3-4), which dropped its fourth consecutive outing.

N.C. State got to Furman starting pitcher Matt Lazzaro in the second inning, plating the first run on a Jack Conley RBI grounder and sacrifice fly by David Vazquez that made it 2-0.

The Wolfpack added two more in the third, the first coming on Kinneman's solo home run to right field, and upped their lead to 6-0 with a pair of runs in the fourth on a sacrifice fly and RBI double by Evan Edwards that drove home Kinneman, who had singled and stole second.

N.C. State tacked on a run in the fifth and finished their outburst with a Vazquez's two-run home run in the seventh off Paladin freshman reliever Jordan Beatson.

Three Wolfpack pitchers combined to shut down Furman's bats, limiting the Paladins to only three hits.  Furman loaded the bases in the ninth with a pair of walks and a double by Trent Alley but State's Kent Klyman rallied to strand the runners, getting Jake Crawford on a game ending fly out to secure the shutout.

Dillon Cooper and Brock Deatherage led the way with three hits apiece, and four others registered two-performances, including Josh McLain, Kinneman, Conley, Vazquez.

The win went to Nolan Clenney (1-0), who worked 3 1/3 innings of no-hit, shutout ball.  He walked three and struck out four.

Lazzaro (0-1) absorbed his first collegiate loss after working four innings and allowing six runs, all earned, on 10 hits.

Furman plays at South Carolina on Tuesday.
