North Carolina State's baseball team is back at the College World Series after a tumultuous exit in 2021 due to a COVID-19 outbreak. Four players, including Sam Highfill, have returned to Omaha, savoring the opportunity to compete once again. Highfill expressed the difficulty of reaching the CWS, acknowledging the competitive nature of the journey.
The Wolfpack's unfortunate experience in 2021 saw them with only 13 players available for a crucial game against Vanderbilt, resulting in a 3-1 loss. Despite the setback, players like Highfill and Garrett Payne displayed resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
