Wake Forest Set For Home-And-Home >>
• Wake Forest returns to Winston-Salem for a home game sandwiched between eight road games on Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. against Davidson. Tuesday's game was postponed and Wednesday's was shifted from Davidson to Winston-Salem.
Presidential First Pitch >>
• Wake Forest President Dr. Nathan Hatch is throwing the first pitch before Wednesday's game.
• The tradition of presidents throwing first pitches began 105 years ago, on April 14, 1910, when President Taft threw out the first pitch at an MLB game. Since then, every president has thrown at least one first pitch.
• To celebrate the occasion, the first 100 students to attend will receive free mini pitchers.

• He also ranks in the top 10 for freshmen with nine stolen bases, and sits just outside the top 10 with 11 doubles, five homers, 34 RBIs, 51 hits and 26 runs scored.
• In his first weekend at Wake Forest, he reached base in 10 consecutive plate apperances.
• He also recently had a 17-game hitting streak snapped.
Series History >>
• Wake Forest leads the all-time series against the Wildcats, 54-13.
• The teams met last year for the first time since 2009, with each team claiming a home victory.
• Last year, the Deacons won at home via a Kevin Conway walkoff hit by pitch in the 12th inning.
