Why was Szefc so upset about the stoppage of play?

Cuz they stopped it in a 2-1 count
While NCState pitcher seemed to be getting a little wild. There was a good chance of our offense doing something and the rain delay in the middle of a count seemed fishy

I think one of the umps gets buzzed by the weather command center
Whenever the radar detects lightning within 7 miles of the stadium. Once he gets the buzz, he has to stop play as soon as practical (which basically means before the next pitch). Timing was exactly the same in softball (3:09pm) but it just so happened that UNC hit a bases clearing double and the next batter hadn't stepped in yet, so it wasn't in the middle of a count.

This was during the first delay
Which was just a rain delay. The next delay was the lightning delay

Good question, can only assume an issue besides the rain

Nc state got two quick outs before it started raining heavy
That's on them not getting all three out before them
