ers against Clemson on Jan. 11, he had made only three shots from deep until Saturday.

Keatts has encouraged the Turkish cen-ter to shoot early and often on the hard-wood, and when he warms up it bodes well for NC State.

In the six conference games where Yurtseven has shot the ball at least 14 times, the Wolfpack is 5-1. The lone loss

was by five points to Miami and Yurtsev-en scored 28 points, his second most in a game, on 12-of-16 shooting.

Johnson continues to dish dimesIn six of the past eight games, sopho-

more guard Markell Johnson has record-ed 10 assists or more which included a five-game stretch of double-digit assists, setting a new program record in the pro-cess.

Johnson doesn’t mind racking in dimes instead of points, and neither does the Wolfpack.

Against Wake Forest, the Cleveland

native garnered 10 of the team’s 13 as-sists. Though freshman guard Braxton Beverly is serviceable at the point, John-son’s playmaking ability is obviously superior. Since Johnson’s return from a seven-game suspension, NC State’s play has improved leaps and bounds.

Al Freeman has finally settled inWhen graduate guard Allerik Freeman

was benched midway through conference play, NC State fans rejoiced. The ball-dominant guard was forcing shots for too long and Keatts finally did something about it.

Now, after a five-game absence from the starting lineup, Freeman has re-turned to the starting five in the past three games due to an increase in his shooting efficiency; in fact, he’s shot 51.4 percent from the field in the last three games combined.

Freeman has finally morphed into the sharpshooter NC State needed and hoped he would be for the 2017-18 season. Since his initial removal from the lineup, he’s taken better shots, and it’s resulted in an impressive 48.7 percent clip from long range.

Despite a six-run third inning in the third and final game of the season-opening series for NC State baseball, the Wolfpack couldn’t overcome three unearned runs as it fell to Se-ton Hall, 8-6, Sunday afternoon at Doak Field.

The Wolfpack (2-1), despite the loss, took the series win after sweeping the doubleheader Fri-day, but the Pirates (1-2) held NC State scoreless in every inning except the third in Sunday’s game as they picked up their first win of the season.

“We saw some bright spots today,” head coach Elliott Avent said. “It’s a loss, won the series. Seton Hall’s a good baseball team… that’s a well-coached team.”

Freshman left-hander David Harrison got the start for the Pack and was greeted in the first inning with a trio of Seton Hall runs. The Pirates strung together two singles to put runners on first and second. Seton Hall first baseman Matt Toke grounded a ball to his positional counterpart, junior Evan Edwards, who threw the ball low and into left field past sophomore shortstop Will Wilson at second base, allowing the Pirates to get their first run and put runners on second and third. Edwards was charged with an error.

A sacrifice fly drove in a run and a single and double brought in a third run. Seton Hall brought eight batters to the plate in the first, scoring three unearned runs.

Seton Hall starter Ricky DeVito cruised through two innings before the Wolfpack bats came alive in the third inning. Batting lead-off, freshman designated hitter Terrell Tatum drew a base on balls and Wilson followed with a free pass of his own. Junior outfielder Brett Kinneman smacked a 2-1 pitch for a double to the left-centerfield gap, scoring Tatum and Wilson to cut the deficit to 3-2.

Edwards flew out to center for the second

out of the inning, but senior center fielder Josh McLain got a hold of the first pitch he saw, driv-ing it over the left-field wall for his first home run of the season to put the Wolfpack up 4-3 and prompting Seton Hall to pull DeVito from the game.

“I was geared up for a fastball,” McLain said. “He threw me one in there on the inside half.”

The Pirates called on right-hander Ryan McLinskey to limit the damage, but the Wolf-pack bats remained hot. Sophomore backstop Brad Debo yanked a single to right and came in to score after freshman Devonte Brown’s triple off the right-field wall. An error by Seton Hall allowed Brown to score. The Pack sent 10 hitters to the dish in the third inning, compiling four hits and scoring six runs to grab the lead, 6-3.

Seton Hall designated hitter Sebastian San-torelli took Harrison deep to right field to start

the fourth frame and cut the lead to just two runs at 6-4.

A leadoff walk in the fifth inning set the stage for a big inning by the Pirates. The free pass and a fielder’s choice put Pirate runners on first and third. Toke launched a 1-1 pitch off Harrison over the right-field wall, putting Seton Hall up, 7-6, in the fifth inning and bouncing Harrison from his collegiate debut in favor of redshirt junior Nolan Clenney.

“We’re a little thin in the bullpen,” Avent said. “We’re trying to get our starters to go a little further.”

Harrison, who was charged with the loss, ended the day with 4.1 innings pitched while striking out five and giving up seven runs but just four earned runs.

Clenney gave up two straight doubles and a run, the second double being off the bat of

Santorelli, who had previously homered. After the fifth frame, the Pirates led 8-6.

Freshman Nick Swiney and sophomore Michael Bienlien combined for 3.2 scoreless innings to finish the game.

In the ninth inning, sophomore first base-man Steven Oakley was hit by a pitch but was called back by the umpire after he ruled that Oakley had leaned into the pitch. Avent argued the call, leading to an ejection. Oakley would eventually fly out to center field. Senior Shane Shepard drew a walk later in the inning, but the Pirates took the final game of the series, 8-6.

“I thought we looked pretty good right now for early in the season,” McLain said. “You need these wins early, you can’t take any games off.”

The Wolfpack will be back in action Tuesday when it squares off against NC A&T at Doak Field. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m.

of songs in our system dating back over a decade, and it’s constantly being updated.

When I come in to work, the first thing I do is open my mail; radio promotion companies, record labels and independent musicians are always sending us CDs. This, along with the occasional digital submission or Bandcamp search, is the main way I discover new music to add to our rotation. My assist-ants or I will listen to the albums that are sent in and decide if they’re WKNC quality. If so, we’ll pick three or four tracks per album and digitize them into our automation system. The operations manager schedules songs in current rotation to be played. If no one is in the studio to override the schedule, the songs end up on the airwaves.

If you want an interactive part in our song selection, you can call in and request a song if you’d like to hear one of your personal favorites (but please make sure there are no FCC violations in it, or it won’t get played for the sake of avoiding massive fines). Or, if you’re a student at NC State, we’d love for you to attend one of our DJ interest meetings, held at the beginning of each fall, spring and summer semester.

Written by Jamie HallaWKNC General Manager

Along a popular downtown Raleigh street, Martin, there is a small colorful door with a crown upon it. Once inside this

door, the entrant has two options, upstairs and down. Up the stairs will lead one to Kings Raleigh, arguably one of the

premier venues in the area.

Once up the stairs, there is another door, typically with some-one standing guard ready to mark those underage and check tickets. Now that the ticket is scanned, you can enter the last

door into a foyer that is often occupied by the band of the evening’s merchandise for audience purchase.

Then, it is time to step foot into the main room, a surprisingly large, rectangular shaped room featuring yellow walls fit for royalty. It’s not too hot in this room and it’s not too cold. The

temperature stays somewhere in the middle, a rarity for most live music venues.

The mumbled conversations of the many eager music fans enter the ears as they await the entertainment of the night.

In the corner, there are two Muppets, Statler and Waldorf, playing guardian angel over the venue. There is a fully stocked bar, featuring friendly bartenders ready to serve the audience a vice or two, or just a glass of water for when the crowd gets

a bit rowdy.

Last but not least, a stage stands about knee high to create a truly one of a kind, intimate atmosphere unrivaled by most

Raleigh venues that feature barricades or high stages.

This venue brings in a diverse line-up night in and night out. On one night, some of the largest up-and-coming indie bands

will take the stage. The next night, there will be a screening of the weirdo-cult film, “The Room,” and then you might find some earnest hip-hop artists taking the stage. A very popular dog show has been said to take place on this stage (hopefully

the fine staff at Kings didn’t have too much to clean up the next day) and from time to time, they will let the audience

take the stage for a night of karaoke. No one night will be the same at this Raleigh mainstay as it transcends the normal

trappings of a music venue to curate one of the most unique and engaging spaces in the greater Raleigh area.

WKNC couldn’t be happier to host both nights of Double Barrel Benefit at Kings for the second year in a row, back-to-back

Feb. 2 and 3. We can’t begin to thank Kings enough for their continued support.

A Venue fit for a king

WKNC’s Double Barrel Benefit has moved around a bit in its 15 years, but has hosted at least one night at Kings since Double Barrel Benefit 13 in 2016, which featured Museum Mouth along with Naked Naps, Schooner and Des Ark. Photos by Katelyn Auger.

Freshman 15 in college, or gain un-wanted weight in general, it is import-ant for students to know where their resources lie in terms of obtaining fresh, local produce near campus. Fortunately for students, a wealth of healthful produce is within walking distance from campus, or just a short bus ride away.

On the edge of Centennial campus sits one of Raleigh’s most talked-about produce spots: State Farmers Market. The market provides a large range of quality, local produce that is available for purchase. The vendors in atten-dance are local farmers whose prices are comparable to those at the grocery stores.

The growing season will determine what crops are available. During the summer and fall months, anything from mushrooms to muscadine grapes to sweet potatoes can be found at the market, along with locally made bread, pastries and other savory eats.

Some of the vendors have been coming to State Farmers Market for years, while others have just started selling more recently.

One long-time seller is that of Whitney Wall, who has been selling at the farmer’s market since she was 7 years-old. Now, at 46 years-old, Wall carries out her grandfather’s tradition of selling fresh fruits and veggies at the market. Wall shared what crops she’s sell-ing at the market this spring season.

“We have corn, squash, zucchini, [and] we’re starting to get really good tomatoes,” Wall said. “We have a new crop of potatoes

that came in just this week, and vidalias that came in for the first time [...] and all kinds of apples and oranges.”

Other groups, such as the Car-olina Mushroom Farm, are new to the farmer’s market. Shahane Taylor, one of the mushroom farm’s owners, talked on her al-ready-thriving customer base.

“The amount of people coming varies with the season, but I have developed an incredibly following of customers,” Taylor said.

State Farmers Market also hous-es a few restaurants that use only local produce and meats. So, not

Advertising PoliciesStudent Media reserves the right to reject

any advertisement for any reason.Advertisements resembling news items will

be labeled “paid advertisement.”The advertiser assumes full liability for

their advertisements and agrees to hold Student Media harmless for the content of all advertisements authorized for publication and any claims that may be made against Student Media.

Student Media is not liable for damages caused by content of paid advertisements, nor is it liable for errors which do not lessen the material value of the advertisement.

Student Media will be responsible for first-run errors only. Claims for allowance must be made within 10 business days of publication error. After this period the publication is exempt from liability due to error. The maximum limit of responsibility will be the total cost of the advertisement in which the error occurs.
