Comeback Bid Comes Up Short in Loss to Wake Forest, 16-10
Box Score WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – A seven-run eighth inning highlighted Duke's comeback bid, but it wasn't enough as the Blue Devils fell to Wake Forest, 16-11, on Sunday afternoon at David F. Couch Ballpark in Winston-Salem.
Wake Forest (25-7, 9-6 ACC) jumped out to an 8-0 lead through three innings. The Blue Devils (13-19, 3-12 ACC) continually chipped away at the Demon Deacons' lead late, but the hosts answered with runs of their own in each bottom frame of the inning.
