NC State took care of business on the diamond this past weekend against Canisius - even if the bullpen did try to epically implode on Saturday - putting the Wolfpack back above the .500 mark on the season. Sitting at 6-5 now, the Pack will hit the road for a Tuesday game at UNCG before heading back to Raleigh for a Wednesday matchup with Campbell (more on that tomorrow night) and the last non-conference series (vs Wright State) before ACC play starts March 14th against Virginia Tech.

First, a quick recap of the weekend series sweep of Canisius:

UNCG will welcome State on Tuesday afternoon for a 4:00pm first pitch (broadcast is on ESPN+). The Spartans (5-5) will be playing their 8th straight game against ACC competition, having pitched a 4-0 shutout against Wake Forest two Tuesdays ago and posted back-to-back 1-2 series marks against Virginia Tech and Pittsburgh over the last two weekends.

The Spartans haven’t posted much in the way of offensive numbers thus far, but that’s very understandable given their schedule to date (their other three games were in a season-opening series against Creighton). They’ve also had a bit of flux with the lineup as only two players have played in all 10 games this year. As a team, the Spartans are hitting just .209/.341/.271 with 13 extra-base hits, a 12.7 BB%, and 32.9 K%. They have stolen 12 bases (on 15 attempts), so they’re staying aggressive when they do get men on.

Freshman 1B Parker Wight (.303/.477/.364, 2 2B, 0 HR, 22.7 BB%, 22.7 K%, 0-1 SB) has paced the offense so far, while JR 2B Jeremy Wolf (250/.424/.333, 2 2B, 0 HR, 17.7 BB%, 20.6 K%, 2-3 SB), SR CF Zach Walsh (.226/.368/.419, 0 2B, 2 HR, 15.0 BB%, 25.0 K%, 2-3 SB), and one-time Wolfpack rosteree (but never saw the field for State) SR RF Trey Truitt (.286/.423/.381, 2 2B, 0 HR, 19.2 BB%, 34.6 K%, 0-0 SB) are the only other players with multiple extra-base hits on the year.

Pitching has held up very well for UNCG, keeping opponents to 4 or fewer runs in half their games. It’s been a very shallow bullpen to date as only 7 pitchers have touched the mound in a relief role, and of those 7, only 4 have tossed more than 1.0 inning on the year. The staff as a whole has posted a 5.44 ERA with a 9.2 BB% and 26.3 K%. Those are solid numbers and will carry this team once they hit SoCon play, but a lack of southpaws (only 3 on the roster, with only 1 having game action thus far) could spell misfortune against more lefty-heavy lineups.

SO LHP Noah Chapman (1-0, 1 SV, 1.26 ERA, 14.1 IP, 7.1 BB%, 33.9 K%) was near unhittable in the win over Wake Forest, going 5.0 innings of 1-hit ball with 2 walks and 7 strikeouts. He should be expected to get the start in this one, too, but he did throw 55 pitching over 3.2 relief innings against Pittsburgh on Saturday. One other arm the Pack is sure to see is the Spartan’s closer, SR RHP Danny Thompson (0-0, 2 SV, 0.00 ERA, 10.0 IP, 16.7 BB%, 33.3 K%). It was Thompson who brought home the win over the Demon Deacons with 4.0 innings of 1-hit ball, 1 walk and 7 strikeouts. The New Bern HS alum tossed 49 pitches on Sunday, so his appearance should be brief.

Amazon.com Services appears to be the company behind a high-profile economic-development project in Greensboro.

The Seattle-based company has paid $12.07 million for an undeveloped 85.25-acre tract at 238 Ritters Lake Road, according to a Guilford County Register of Deeds filing Wednesday.

The seller is Williams Development Group.

"We are thrilled to be expanding our operations in Greensboro,' said Greg Rios, a public relations specialist with Amazon.

Rios declined to provide details on what sort of operations Amazon would have at the facility or projections of start date.

"Over the coming months, Amazon plans to collaborate closely with local officials to finalize the details of this investment," Rios said. "As more information becomes available, we look forward to sharing updates with the community."

The location, known as Ritters Logistics Center @ 1-85, has been marketed by the Triad office of CBRE as containing 109 acres and up to 1.05 million square feet of built-to-suit Class A space, rather than speculative building space.

The flier lists three proposed buildings of 578,880 square feet, 367,660 square feet and 105,000 square feet, respectively.

Amazon entered the Triad in July 2020 with the opening of its 1-million-square-foot fulfillment center at 1656 Old Greensboro Road in Kernersville. It has about 1,000 full-time employees there.

Amazon also operates a 100,000-square-foot delivery station in Whitsett off 6495 Franz Warner Parkway and a 66,000-square-foot facility at 7929 National Service Road in Colfax that has a High Point address.

The purchase by Amazon.com Services represents an additional occupant for the industrial campus.

In May, separate legal notices from Greensboro City Council and Guilford County Board of Commissioners listed that an unidentified company had submitted an incentive request for what was named as “Project Aggie.”

At that time, N.C. A&T State University said the project “has nothing to with N.C. A&T or the N.C. A&T Real Estate Foundation.”

The company pledged to make a $30 million capital investment into an industrial building at 238 Ritters Lake Road and create up to 40 jobs while also maintaining the current workforce of 113 employees.

In June, the Council voted to approve nearly $536,300 in incentives for James M. Pleasants Co. Inc., while Guilford commissioners provided $582,500. Both votes were unanimous.

James M. Pleasants, a Greensboro-based distributor and sales representative of HVAC, plumbing and other industrial equipment, said it would consolidate its headquarters, distribution and light manufacturing operations into a 19.75-acre site at 238 Ritters Lake Road.

The N.C. Commerce Department pledged to provide up to $35,000 in state performance-based incentives.

Ritters Lake Road had been the subject of speculation over the e-tailing behemoth's Triad plans.

Amazon has bought about 85 acres on Ritters Lake Road in Greensboro, a sign the retail and distribution giant may have plans for a major facility there.

Amazon.com Services LLC is listed as the grantee in deeds recorded Wednesday in Guilford County for a parcel of 85.25 acres with the address of 238 Ritters Lake Road.

The seller of the property was Williams Development Group LLC of Winston-Salem, a residential and industrial development company. Co-founder and managing member Taylor Williams declined to comment, citing a non-disclosure agreement.

The recorded purchase price was about $12.1 million.

"We are thrilled to be expanding our operations in Greensboro," Amazon spokesman Greg Rios wrote in an email to Triad Business Journal. "Over the coming months, Amazon plans to collaborate closely with local officials to finalize the details of this investment. As more information becomes available, we look forward to sharing updates with the community.

The acreage of the Ritters Lake Road parcel is similar to that of Amazon’s million-square-foot fulfillment center in Kernersville that opened in the summer of 2020 with plans to employ 1,000 people.

That’s no guarantee of the company’s plans, however, as it may end up not using all the land. Amazon also has numerous smaller last-mile facilities, for example, such as those of the kind it announced for the Mount Airy area in January along with others across North Carolina.

But Ritters Lake Road was the subject of much speculation three years ago after Greensboro attorney Mike Fox, representing Williams Development Group, described a project before the Greensboro Planning and Zoning Commission in March 2022 as of a scope similar to the Kernersville center.

The following September, CNBC published a list of facilities Amazon had cancelled that included a fulfillment center in Greensboro; Amazon said at the time that it had never finalized such plans.

The site is off Interstate 40-85 Exit 124 south of the interstate and between Randleman Road and South Elm-Eugene Street.

It is near property purchased last summer by industrial and building-equipment company James M. Pleasants for a planned consolidated site for headquarters, distribution and manufacturing. The JMP property consists of about 19.75 acres that was divided from the larger property that Amazon has purchased.

Fulfillment centers are key components of Amazon's distribution system, using a mix of automation, human power, and shipping to get products sorted and shipped. It has more than 150 in the United States.
