Wake Forest Storylines

All-time, he joins an exclusive group which includes Augie Garrido, Ron Polk, Larry Cochell, Jack Stallings, Andy Lopez and Sunny Galloway.
• The Demon Deacons earned an at-large bid into the regional after posting a 2-2 record at the ACC Championship, beating NCAA qualifiers Duke and Virginia and falling to national seeds Louisville and Clemson.
• Five Deacons earned All-ACC honors, including Will Craig (3B) and Nate Mondou (2B) on the first team, Stuart Fairchild (OF) on the second team, and Gavin Sheets (1B) and Parker Dunshee (SP) on the third team.
• Wake Forest is 37-23 all-time in the NCAA playoffs and making its 12th appearance overall. The Deacs won the College World Series in 1955 and finished as runner-up in 1949.
• Most recently, Wake Forest qualified in 2007 and played in Round Rock, Texas, falling to Texas and UC-Irvine and beating Brown.
The Opposition & Series History
