• Wake Forest's starting pitchers combined to allow just one run over 19.0 innings. Jared Shuster led the way with 7.0 innings of one-hit ball, striking out a career-high 12 batters as he earned ACC Co-Pitcher of the Week honors and was named a Collegiate Baseball national Player of the Week.
• Bobby Seymour led the offense with three-straight multi-hit games, totaling four doubles last week. He leads the team with a .375 average and 18 RBIs.
• Head coach Tom Walter won his 700th game Sunday, making him the fifth active ACC coach to reach that mark.
Wake Forest Storylines

Last year, Wake Forest had the fifth-most starts from freshmen in the country, with five rookies making more than 35 starts each. 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 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).
