The waiting is over. Postseason baseball starts today. The Wake Forest Demon Deacons (38-19, 16-14 ACC) are the No. 2 seed in the Morgantown Regional and will face the Kentucky Wildcats (31-21, 13-17 SEC) on Friday afternoon. This will be the 5th time the Diamond Deacs have played Kentucky, but the two teams haven't met in 76 years, when Wake won 9-2 on June 10, 1950. The Deacs hold a 4-0 all-time series lead over Kentucky. Wake Forest is just one of five teams s to make the NCAA Tournament in each of the last five seasons. The Deacs have a 55-37 overall record in the NCAA Tournament and are 23-17 in Regional games since 1999. Levonas Gets the StartWake Forest RHP Chris Levonas will start today. He has been the Deacs' Friday night starter for most of the season and is taking the bump to hopefully get the Deacs into tomorrow's winners' bracket game. Wake Forest pitcher Chris Levonas has been off to a fantastic start to his sophomore season with the Demon Deacons. | Wake Forest AthleticsLevonas has a 10-3 record on the season. In 68.1 innings pitched, he has allowed 42 hits, 24 runs (22 of those earned), and 32 walks, while throwing 110 strikeouts. His ERA is 2.90. He leads the team in wins (10), innings pitched (68.1), and strikeouts (110).Wake Forest will need Levonas to play deep into the game. He has worked 5.0 or more innings in nine of his 14 starts. He has allowed three runs or fewer in 12 of his 14 starts so far this year, including eight starts allowing one run or less. One stat to keep an eye on - Levonas is holding right-handed batters to just 22-for-162 (.136) at the plate so far this season. A good game from Levonas, plus hot bats from the offense, should lead to a game tomorrow evening in the winners' bracket of the Regional, likely against host and No. 16 national seed West Virginia.
