FROM COACH WALTER
"We're just putting too much pressure on our pitching right now. We haven't been scoring runs, and everybody feels that. They hit a two-run homer with two outs, and all of a sudden, the dugout gets deflated and our guys feel like they can't come back from that right now. That's disappointing because we have a better offensive team than that. We're obviously in a funk right now and have been for a while now. We need to find a way to get out of it. I probably need to change things up and play different guys. We've got to find a way to start scoring runs, because right now, we're just putting way too much pressure on our pitching. We've got a big game on Tuesday against Coastal, and then obviously a huge series against NC State. It'll be good to be back home after being on the road for two-plus weeks now." - Head Coach Tom Walter

UP NEXT
Wake Forest returns home for the first time in 16 days when they close the season series against No. 11 Coastal Carolina on Tuesday, Apr. 14. First pitch against the Chanticleers is set for 6 p.m. ET on ACCNX.
