The Demon Deacons will take a five-game win streak into a battle with triad rival NC A&T.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Following a series sweep over in-state rival Western Carolina, the No. 12 Wake Forest baseball team is set to take on North Carolina A&T at 6 p.m. Wednesday night at David F. Couch Ballpark.
Sophomore Ben Shenosky will make his eighth start of the season and 18th appearance. The righty has only given up three walks in his last five outings with 11 strikeouts during that span.
Offensively, junior Seaver King has hit lights out over the last few weeks as the third baseman has now knocked in a run in seven-consecutive games, including seven in the series against Western Carolina. He now leads the team and ranks fifth in the conference with 57 total RBI this campaign.
Tickets can be purchased here. For those unable to attend, the game will be streamed live on ACC Network Extra with live stats available here.
