Wake Forest College baseball team form

The Demon Deacons are among the top college baseball team to play on Wednesday. Currently ranked No. 12 among the top 25 teams in the nation, the North Carolina school last swept West Carolina in a three-series game that spanned two days.

Here's what Tom Walter, Wake Forest's head coach, had to say about the team's performance after their first game:

"Chase Burns obviously and Slim Johnson today were really good, and we needed them to be, our bats weren't great today, obviously we had three solo home runs in the first inning," Walter said (via 247sports.com). "But overall, I was disappointed in our at-bats today... Just happy to get a win and happy that we got over two hours of dry baseball,"

He also spoke about Chase Burns' commanding pitching in more detail:

"He threw all four pitches, he threw some really good changeups later in the outing to strike out a really good left-handed hitter there in Ketterman, and he had a slider. His slider was good and he has a curveball too, so it's hard for a guy to go out there with four pitches, and Chase did that today."

Burns struck out 13 Western Carolina players and pitched six no-hit innings. He threw 92 pitches, and its set to return to the mound on Friday against the Clemson Tigers.
