Last Time Out
• Wake Forest dropped a midweek game at Liberty by a 9-3 margin.
• The Deacs scored the first two runs of the game, but the Flames answered by scoring the next seven to pull away. Michael Ludowig and Chris Lanzilli each went 2-for-4 with a double to lead the Deacs offensively.

The Deacs return 88 percent of the team's hits from last year (437/499), as well as 71 percent of the innings pitched (366.1/515.1).
• Wake Forest is ranked by a pair of outlets, No. 20 by D1Baseball and No. 27 by the NCBWA. No. 20 was Wake Forest's highest preseason ranking since 2003.
• This is the first season the Deacs will have full use of the Chris Hurd Player Development Center, which was completed last month. See page five for additional details.
• Wake Forest boasts three of D1Baseball's top-100 college draft prospects for the 2019 MLB Draft, including Friday starter Morgan McSweeney (No. 58), Saturday starter Colin Peluse (No. 88), and draft-eligible sophomore outfielder DJ Poteet (No. 100).
