Everyone seemed to get in on the action for Wake Forest, as seven Demon Deacons recorded hits in a 15-hit offensive outburst that kept their season alive. The Deacs (39-20, 16-14 ACC) defeated the Binghamton Bearcats on Saturday afternoon in a Morgantown Regional elimination game. With the win, the Deacs stay alive. They will play the loser of today's West Virginia/Kentucky game in another elimination game at 12 pm on Sunday. If they win that game, they will play the winner of the West Virginia/Kentucky game in the Regional Final on Sunday afternoon. They will have to beat that team both Sunday and again on Monday to advance to the Super Regional next weekend. After going 1-2-3 in the top of the 1st, Wake proceeded to then score in four consecutive innings, building up a 10-0 lead after four innings. Wake Forest pounded out 15 hits by game's end, with more than half resulting in extra-base knocks. The eight extra base hits (seven doubles and one home run) were the 2nd most extra base hits in a game this season for the Deacs. Wake Forest shortstop JD Stein went 2-for-5 in Saturday's game against Binghamton. He had two hits, one RBI, and he crossed the plate twice in the 12-3 win. | Wake Forest AthleticsRHP Cameron Bagwell got the start for Wake Forest. He made it through four clean innings. In the fifth, he gave up three runs. He took the mound for the sixth inning but failed to record an out, loading the bases before Wake Forest made a pitching change.
