Wake Forest defeats Virginia, evens series
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA – A day after giving up 16 runs in a Friday loss to Virginia, Wake Forest cut that number to three in a six-run, series-evening victory Saturday afternoon.
Chase Burns shined again on the mound, earning his second ACC win of the season with seven near-flawless innings. The Tennessee transfer finished with just one run — a solo homer in the second — and 13 strikeouts, his third-straight game with at least 10.
Burns retired seven consecutive batters from the final out of the second inning through the end of the fourth, when he struck out the side. In his seventh trip to the mound, battling a pitch count that ran above 100, Burns maneuvered through a situation with runners on second and third to keep additional runs off the scoreboard.
The junior’s performance kept Wake Forest from having to further expend its bullpen — the Deacs used seven pitchers Friday including starter Josh Hartle. Will Ray recorded four outs before closer David Falco nabbed the final two. The pair combined for just 27 pitches.
The Wake Forest bats maintained their heat Saturday, knocking 14 hits. Marek Houston and Adam Tellier led with three each, while Jack Winnay, Seaver King and Javar Williams all tacked on two.
Tellier singled home the initial run in the first inning, but the Deacs hit a lull until catcher Cameron Gill’s RBI triple in the fourth.
Winnay cracked his first home run of the afternoon in the team’s ensuing trip to the plate, his second led off the seventh for a three-RBI day.
The latter homer was the beginning of a critical insurance-run effort in the final three innings. Wake Forest found its sixth score on a bases-loaded walk in the eighth before plating three more in the ninth off the bats of Williams, Tellier and Seaver King.
Without the five extra runs, a Virginia ninth-inning, two-run blast to right-center would’ve tightened Wake Forest’s lead to one.
With the series tied at one, the Deacs enter Sunday with their second-straight rubber match — they fell in the first to Duke last week. Wake Forest will do so potentially without two vital players. Per the ACCN broadcast, coach Tom Walter said Nick Kurtz is expected to be out several weeks with a shoulder injury. It was also noted that Sunday starting pitcher Michael Massey potentially might not be available.
According to a source, freshman Haiden Leffew is likely to start on the mound tomorrow for Wake Forest.
First pitch is set for 1pm ET on ACCNX.

Three Takeaways From Virginia Tech Baseball’s Series Win Vs Cal
Berkley, CA — Virginia Tech won their third consecutive ACC series and have won 9 of their last 12 matchups on the diamond. Despite dropping game three in 9-4 fashion, the Hokies needed this series win and got it, putting themselves firmly on the bubble this week.
There’s plenty of takeaways from the series, so here’s my top three.
No. 1: The Hokies are peaking at the right time
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a column on what the Hokies would need to do to put themselves in position on the bubble, and they have followed that blueprint to a tee.
I stated that the Hokies would need a 15-4 run going down the stretch, and they’re within striking distance, needing to go 6-1 from here on out with four games against non-conference opponents.
They couldn’t afford another series loss in conference, and they haven’t taken one.
With that run, the Hokies — who sat outside of the top 45 — have moved themselves up to 36th in RPI — a firm bubble position — with a three big ACC games remaining and four must-win non-conference games.
No. 2: Brett Renfrow has found it
What is ‘it’ exactly? Well, he’s the only one that knows.
Over Brett Renfrow’s first two starts in the month of April against Miami and Boston College, he surrendered 12 runs in 11 innings, striking out 10 batters and hurling over 200 pitches in the short time span.
Since then, he’s arguably been the best pitcher in the conference. In his recent three starts, Renfrow has allowed the following statline:
21.0 IP
3 ER
10 H
6 BB
27 K
Those numbers bring an ERA of 1.29 and a K/9 of 11.57.
For those of you who are familiar with the K%-BB% stat, Renfrow’s is sitting at 25.9%. For context, Tarik Skubal — who won the AL Cy Young last year — had a rate of 27.8%.
Brett Renfrow getting back to those strong, consistent starts that we’ve seen in the past is something that Virginia Tech desperately needed from it’s ace, and it will be crucial for the Hokies down the stretch.
No. 3: The Bullpen has been much more consistent
Earlier this season, the Virginia Tech bullpen had a huge issue with blowing leads and losing games.
Against Cal, the Virginia Tech bullpen surrendered just a pair of runs in 10 innings of work.
The highlight of the bullpen as of late has been Chase Swift, who hasn’t given up a run since March 3rd against Marshall. He’s made nine appearances in that time and has posted the following stat-line:
13.1 IP
0 ER
4 H
6 BB
18 K
Much like with Renfrow, consistency from the Virginia Tech bullpen is going to be key down the stretch, and the Hokies are headed in the right direction.
