Wake Forest baseball team secures a series win against Clemson with a 3-0 victory. Seaver King and Jack Winnay deliver key hits to help the Deacs lead the game. Wake Forest dominates with multiple home runs, including a grand slam and a three-run bomb.
If you're rooting for the Deacs to grab a top-four seed, the series to watch other than Wake Forest at NC State would probably be Georgia Tech at FSU. If the Noles win that series, Wake Forest would have to sweep NC State to pass them. UVA took 2 out of 3 vs Wake in March. https://t.co/Mp2jtJ26i7

Jack Winnay greets Clemson's new pitcher (Billy Barlow) with a 3-run HR. Second time in as many innings that Wake Forest hits a 3-run HR on the first batter after a pitching change. Deacons lead 10-3 and would need a bullpen collapse to not sweep Clemson.

Between getting swept by Wake Forest at home last year & arriving in Winston-Salem for this weekend's series vs the Deacs, Clemson Baseball was a combined 39-10 vs. ACC teams, had won 14 out of 15 series & captured an ACC Championship. Deacs took the 1st 2. Finale at noon.
