Wake Forest Athletics: Statements from Vice President & Director of Athletics John Currie & Head Baseball Coach Tom Walter

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Statements from Wake Forest Athletics leadership following the Knoxville Regional finale on Monday evening.

Vice President & Director of Athletics John Currie:
- "I am both surprised and deeply disappointed in our head baseball coach Tom Walter for his outburst during last night's baseball game. I feel badly for those most hurt by such words. I spoke with Coach Walter immediately after the game and again this morning to address this incident, which is completely out of character for him and does not meet the standards of Wake Forest Athletics, Wake Forest University or the Atlantic Coast Conference."
Head Baseball Coach Tom Walter:
- "I am very sorry for my outburst in frustration last night and I recognize the hurt and disappointment it has caused. I have seen the videos and while I do not remember the specific moment clearly, that language doesn't reflect my values or the standards of this program. Regardless, I own the consequences and I apologize to the University of Tennessee, to Wake Forest University, and the SEC & ACC."
