Stepping up to the plate, Demon Deacon shortstop Bruce Steel broke the game’s tie with a solo shot against redshirt junior reliever Matt Brill over the left field fence. Putting Wake Forest (19-7) up 5-4, the Mountaineers were unable to answer in the bottom half.
App State (10-15, 1-5) has put runs on the scoreboard early and in the middle of games, but they have been unable to push runs across in the final frames.
