First pitch against NC A&T is slated for 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Following a weekend sweep against Dayton over the weekend, No. 1 Wake Forest baseball is set to take on North Carolina A&T on Tuesday, Feb. 27 at World War Memorial Stadium in Greensboro, N.C.
Freshman Haiden Leffew will make his second start on the mound in the Old Gold & Black on Tuesday against the Aggies.
Offensively as a team, the Deacs have collected 30 extra-base hits over the first seven games of the season, including 12 home runs, 17 doubles and a triple. Of note, the Demon Deacons lead the ACC and are 13th in the nation with 57 walks this season.
Graduate student Adam Tellier leads the Demon Deacons with a 1.429 OPS over the first two weeks of the season. He is tied for the team-lead with three home runs in addition to three doubles and a team-high nine walks.
On Sunday, second baseman Austin Hawke and left fielder Jack Winnay provided a spark offensively for the Demon Deacons batting in the seven and eight hole, respectively. Hawke notched a career-high three hits. He also collected two RBIs and crossed the plate twice.
Winnay also had a career day at the plate, as he launched a pair of two-run home runs for his first-career multi-homer game and is now tied for the team lead with Seaver King and Adam Tellier with three this season. His four runs batted in also mark a career best.
On the mound, Wake Forest has posted the best WHIP (1.00) in the conference and sixth-best in the nation. Additionally, the Deacs' 3.61 strikeout-to-walk ratio also leads the ACC and is good for 16th nationally.
First pitch is set for 4 p.m. against the Aggies. The game will be streamed on FloBaseball with a paid subscription.
