Virginia Tech’s baseball team faced a challenging weekend as they were swept by Wake Forest, highlighting the Demon Deacons’ strength in the ACC this season. The series at English Field was anticipated as a crucial test for Virginia Tech, facing off against the No. 21 ranked Wake Forest, a team that had made a recent College World Series appearance.
Despite Virginia Tech’s strong pitching in the early part of the season, Wake Forest demonstrated their prowess by winning all three games convincingly. In the first game, Wake Forest secured an 8-5 victory after a grand slam by Eddie Micheletti briefly put Virginia Tech ahead. The following games saw Wake Forest’s power hitting and solid pitching hold Virginia Tech at bay, resulting in a sweep for the Demon Deacons.
This outcome leaves Virginia Tech with a 21-8 overall record and a 10-5 standing in the ACC. They will face Liberty midweek before heading to Georgia Tech for a series as they aim to bounce back from this tough weekend. Despite the frustration, the team is focused on moving forward and turning the page for upcoming challenges.
