The Match-Up

Wake Forest Storylines
• Wake Forest experienced success in all three facets of the game, finishing the opening weekend with a perfect 3-0 record with victories against Georgetown (3-1), UMBC (10-8) and VMI (8-4).
• Parker Dunshee set the tone for the Demon Deacons on Friday, tossing 6.0 scoreless innings, striking out eight while allowing four hits and no walks. Johnny Aiello hit a pair of homers in his first collegiate game.
• Will Craig highlighted Saturday's win over UMBC. The reigning ACC Player of the Year finished 2-for-3 at the plate with a double, homer, walk and four RBIs, also tossing a 1-2-3 ninth inning to pick up the save.
• On Sunday, Craig and Nate Mondou combined for two homers, five hits and seven RBIs to lead the offensive attack in a win over VMI. Drew Loepprich allowed two runs in 7.0 frames, while Donnie Sellers entered with the bases loaded for the second time on the weekend, again stranding every runner as he picked up his second save.
• Wake Forest cranked seven homers - two apiece from Craig and Aiello and one each from Mondou, Ben Breazeale and Kevin Conway. The seven homers is the most through three games since 1999, a year in which the program set a record for homers in a season.
• Wake Forest is 3-0 for the first time since opening the year 6-0 in 2009.
