The Demon Deacons are looking to extend their winning streak to 10 games on Tuesday afternoon.
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Riding a nine-game win streak, the No. 11 Wake Forest baseball team will look to extend the streak to double digits on Tuesday as the Deacs hit the road to face Liberty at Worthington Field. First pitch against the Flames is set for 4 p.m. ET.
Stay tuned to the Demon Deacons' social media accounts (@WakeBaseball) for all in-game updates and information.
Probable Pitchers
Wake Forest RHP Chris Levonas (0-0, 9.00 ERA) vs. Liberty RHP Dylan Mathiesen (1-1, 3.76 ERA)
Opponent Series/History
The Wake bullpen has been one of the strongest in the country so far, with a 2.84 ERA in 98.1 innings of relief through the first 21 games.
The bullpen alone has struck out 147 batters, which outpaces the total strikeouts of 137 other D1 programs, combining both starters and relievers.
March Mashing
Averaging over 10 runs per game, Wake Forest has been seeing it well over the first three weeks of March. Over 40 percent of the Deacs' hits this month have gone for extra bases, as Wake has tallied 33 doubles, a triple, and 21 home runs in 11 games.
Wake has scored 100 runs over the nine-game win streak, including nine in double digits. Three wins for the Deacs have come via the 10-run rule during the streak, as the offense is averaging over 15 runs per game in the rule-run contests.
Four everyday starters for the Demon Deacons are hitting over .390 on the month, led by an eye-popping .500 average from transfer Kade Lewis.
Strike Early. Strike Often.
One of the keys to the Deacs' success over the last three years has been scoring first, as Wake Forest has gone 74-19 in games where they got on the board first since the 2023 season.
Under Tom Walter, Wake is 307-122-1 when scoring first, including a 12-1 mark to start the 2025 campaign.
Up Next
Wake Forest hits the road for the first time in Atlantic Coast Conference play this weekend with a three-game series against No. 7 Clemson. Friday's first pitch at Doug Kingsmore Stadium is scheduled for 6 p.m. on ACC Network Extra.
