Chase Burns of Wake Forest was named the ACC's pitcher of the week for the 6th time this season after pitching 7 innings against N.C. State with impressive stats. FSU's James Tibbs III was awarded ACC Player of the Year, hitting 24 home runs and maintaining a high batting average. Four other Seminoles received All-ACC honors. The ACC also recognized other outstanding players in various categories. Burns finished the regular season with exceptional performances, including being the national leader in strikeouts. Tibbs continued his impressive season with more home runs. Both players received well-deserved accolades for their outstanding performances.
Wake's lead is down to 4-3, still here in the bottom of the 7th. RBI groundout 2-out single Single off of second base is how the runs have scored.
Chase Burns pumps in 98 mph on pitches 104 and 105. Snaps off a slider at 90 to get a backward-K of Alberto Osuna and end the 6th inning. He's got 15 strikeouts, which ties Carlos Rodon for the 4th-most in ACC single-season history. The other three with more were all pre-2000.
Burns is at 87 pitches. He's probably only got 1 more inning in him. If UNC can stay within just 2-0, it has a great chance to win this late against Wake's bullpen.
Wake has recorded 15 outs. 13 have been Chase Burns strikeouts. 2-0 Deacs after 5. He probably has 1 inning left.
UNC's BABIP is up to .800. Chase Burns is up to 12 strikeouts.
That's 11 strikeouts through 4 innings by Chase Burns. He's thrown 66 pitches, 46 strikes. His season high is 109, which was 2-plus months ago against UVA.
Marek Houston launches one over the left field wall and it's 1-0 Wake Forest.
Chase Burns touching 100 mph here in the first inning. Has struck out the first two UNC batters.
James Tibbs III extends FSU's lead with his 25th homer of the season and 52nd of his career. Now tied with Mike McGee for the fifth-most homers in FSU history. 12-7 FSU
I know Cam Smith is a heck of a player too, but intentionally walking him to load the bases for ACC Player of the Year James Tibbs III is...a choice. https://t.co/6EeJqoitY7
Seaver King with a 2-out single to score Nick Kurtz. Wake's lead goes back to 5, at 6-1 in the 5th. Feels like an important run. Any lead in this place doesn't feel all that safe, but at least you can give up a grand slam and still be ahead.
Another homer for Wake Forest, this one of the 3-run variety and off the bat of Marek Houston. Wake's lead is 5-0; that's a good remedy after the batter before popped out on a sac bunt attempt.
With three more home runs this since one, FSU is now up to 103 homers on the season. The next homer will give FSU its most in a season since the 1999 team hit 111 bombs. https://t.co/eDIX6m4vno
