MLILY Mattresses in Greensboro, NC

NC State baseball defeated UNC-Greensboro in a 10-0 shutout on Tuesday in Greensboro, pushing its winning streak to four games.

The Wolfpack (7-5) came into the game looking to build momentum from a weekend sweep over Canisius. The Pack was also attempting to win its first midweek game this season after it dropped its first two.

The Pack started hot at the top of the first with an RBI from sophomore second baseman Luke Nixon that scored senior shortstop Justin DeCriscio to put the Pack up 1-0. After a scoreless second and third inning, the Wolfpack extended its lead in the fourth with a two-run homer from sophomore first baseman Chris McHugh to go up 3-0.

After three more scoreless innings, the Wolfpack found its groove again with a five-run performance in the eighth to extend its lead to 8-0. The first run was off of a Nixon triple that scored junior shortstop Matt Heavner. McHugh later scored on a two-run homer hit by sophomore catcher Alex Sosa. Finally, junior designated hitter Josh Hogue hit a homer before the inning closed.

The ninth inning saw the Pack stay hot in the batter’s box with a hit by junior right fielder Brayden Fraasman, reaching on a fielder’s choice in which Nixon scored again. After that, a wild pitch allowed Sosa to score and extend the Pack’s lead to 10-0. NC State’s pitching staff kept the Spartans scoreless to secure the 10-0 shutout.

The Spartans used five pitchers throughout the game, allowing 12 hits. McHugh led the Wolfpack with three hits.

While NC State’s offense was hot at the plate, it didn’t need to do much as the Pack’s pitchers shut down the Spartans. Sophomore pitcher Cooper Consiglio started the game and pitched the first four innings, recording six strikeouts and only allowing one hit.

Freshman pitcher Anderson Nance came in during the fifth inning and pitched the last five innings. Nance allowed six hits but stayed consistent enough so that no one on UNCG crossed home plate.

After a rough start to the season, it seems like NC State is getting back on track, especially on the mound, which was a big concern a week ago. This will be important as its next test will be against a solid in-state program in Campbell, who has been known to play the Pack tough.

NC State will play Campbell on Wednesday at Doak Field. First pitch is set for 3 p.m.

Gusty winds and some severe thunderstorms are a concern. Here's the forecast.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — We need to be weather-aware for Wednesday. Gusty winds are likely throughout the day and a line of strong to severe thunderstorms will push through the state in the morning and midday. A few more storms could form in the afternoon before we clear out completely. The WFMY News 2 Weather team is tracking it and issuing a Weather Impact Alert Day for Wednesday.

This is a strong storm system that will be moving across the country. It will bring a risk of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes for the Deep South on Tuesday. By Wednesday, it will start to move east toward the Carolinas.

For us, the main risk looks to be for damaging wind gusts. The wind speed up in the clouds will be very high. If any thunderstorms can form, they can bring those high winds down to the ground.

Of course, with wind gusts the concern is for downed trees and power lines. It's a good idea to keep your devices charged up for Wednesday.

There is a low tornado risk across our area for Wednesday as well. It's not high, but it is something we should be prepared for. Make sure to have a plan ready for you and your family at home, but also at the office and school. Know where you safe spaces area should you need to use them in a tornado warning.

Risk of severe storms for Wednesday. Mainly for gusty winds. Low risk of tornadoes.

There will be two timeframes to watch on Wedensday. The main time to look for will be the morning and midday hours. A large line of rain and storms looks to move our way in the 7 to 11am timeframe.

The earlier the storms get here, the lower the severe risk. If they slow down a little bit, we have a better chance of seeing severe weather. This has to do with how much warmth we have at the time.

Strong to severe storms are possible. Main round would be Wedneday morning 7am to 11am or so.

The second timeframe to watch is the afternoon from roughly 4pm to 7pm. Most computer models keep us dry, but one or two look to re-form a couple storms. In the heating of the day a few of these could become strong and severe as well. Keep an eye out.

Forget about thunderstorms for a minute. Gusty winds are likely just about all day on Wednesday.

From the morning to the afternoon and early evening the gusts will be between 30 to 45 mph. It's a good idea to keep things charged up in case of power outages.

DOGE claims it saved nearly $1 million by terminating the leases.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced the cancellation of leases for four federal offices in Greensboro, including the Small Business Administration (SBA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). In addition, the lease for the Farm Service Agency in Wilkesboro has also been canceled.

According to DOGE, these lease cancellations are part of a nationwide effort to cut costs, with the agency claiming to have saved $468 million across the country. In the Piedmont Triad alone, DOGE states it has saved approximately $978,749 through these closures. The estimated savings for each Greensboro office are as follows:

Each office faces different timelines and operational challenges as they prepare for closure. The NRCS must vacate its office by June, though employees were not authorized to provide further details and indicated they had little information on the transition.

The SBA office, or SCORE, operates out of the Nussbaum Center of Entrepreneurship.

SCORE, which primarily operates by appointment with a volunteer staff, must be vacated by May 25.

CEO of the Nussbaum Center, Sam Funchess, said the volunteers at SCORE helped over 1600 small businesses last year and relationships are kept once a business is up and running.

Funchess said, "I know that the score chapter locally has been working with their reps to understand kind of what the path forward is for them, but they're not having an office where clients can come meet them really pushes them to the fringe where they have to meet at the library or they have to meet at Starbucks or they have to meet at some other local coffee shop. Do you wanna meet a stranger in a coffee shop?"

Funchess continued, "This country's built on small businesses. Our federal government pounds the table that small businesses are the backbone of our country. And we've got a group of volunteers here that occupy four offices that they meet with clients, uh, that they're now being put out on the street over $11,000 a year. Is that really supporting small business? That's the hard part to understand."

Meanwhile, the EEOC office remains open to the public three days a week, with employees regularly working on-site. However, when visited on Wednesday, no staff members were present.

As far as where these employees go from here, that is still uncertain. .

WFMY News 2 also visited the FDA location. There are still people actively working there, but no one would speak with us.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Ainsley and Hallie Morgan, landlords of a townhome in Greensboro, are facing significant property damage they claim was caused by their tenants. The Morgans, who reside in Charlotte received alarming calls from neighbors on February 17, prompting them to visit the property.

"We had a feeling that it wasn’t going to be a pretty sight and so as we were on the way we just said we’re gonna prepare for the worst," Hallie said.

Upon entering the townhome, the family found water damage throughout the unit.

"We were walking through it and our socks were getting wet. It was bad," said Ainsley.

The fire department investigated and discovered that the toilets had been tampered with, leading to flooding. The Morgans claim that the tenants, who had moved in just six days prior, were responsible for the damage.

"It was beyond anything we could have ever imagined," said Hallie.

Even before this situation, the landlord-tenant relationship was rocky.

"They demanded that we unclog their human feces from the toilet, they talked about dust particles in the air, scuff marks on the ground," according to the couple they did their best to accommodate the renters.

The townhouse is considered a "total loss," for the family. They asked the two tenants about the damage, there was no answers.

ABC45 News reached out to both individuals, one responded speaking out for the both of them:

We deny all the allegations made against is and are appalled and the lies being spread. At this time we do not intend to make further statements to the media, since this matter is now in litigation. We will vigorously defend ourselves in court. We urge people to not jump to conclusion based on one side of the story that has been told online.

When asked if they had any proof to back their claims they said:

We have given all our evidence to our attorneys. Hurting someone verbally, hurting their property or hurting them in any other way is not something we would ever do. Those things never fix anything they just spread more misery. There is enough misery in the world, we try to spread kindness, compassion and understanding.

BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT

Hallie and Ainsley are currently awaiting a decision from their insurance company regarding coverage for the damage and have set up a GoFundMe for assistance.
