SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2020 ■ 19 TRACKING THE PACK BY THE NUMBERS Sponsored by Colony Tire & Service www.colonytire.com 2 NC State baseball players were ranked among D1Baseball.com's top 150 prospects for the 2021 MLB Draft: sophomore short- stop Jose Torres checked in at No. 23, while junior infielder/outfielder Tyler McDonough was listed No. 47. 7 Preseason All-ACC selections on the football team according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). Redshirt senior offensive guard Joe Sculthorpe and junior defen- sive tackle Alim McNeill earned first-team honors. Sophomore offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu received a second-team nod, while junior nickel TYLER BAKER-WILLIAMS, junior kicker Christopher Dunn and redshirt junior punter Trenton Gill were placed on the third team. Redshirt junior center Grant Gibson also received an honorable mention. 16 Game hitting streak for Washington Nationals shortstop TREA TURNER, from Aug. 14-31, before it was stopped in a loss to the Phillies Sept. 1, a game in which he still reached base via a walk. That means Turner enjoyed a 23-game on-base streak, before it also ended the following day. As of Sept. 2, he leads the majors in batting average (.358, .014 points higher than No. 2) and hits (49, one more than anybody else). Turner's 16-game hitting streak tied Jimmy Brown in 1940 for the longest by a former Wolfpack player in MLB history.
