A day after a convincing 11-3 Friday night victory over the UMBC Retrievers to open up NCAA play in Winston-Salem, the 14th ranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons will be back out to David F. Couch Ballpark on Saturday night taking on a formidable West Virginia team. The Mountaineers (35-24) took care of business themselves on Friday afternoon, smacking the ball all over the ball park with six home runs en route to a 9-1 domination of third-seeded Maryland.
The NCAA appearance for West Virginia is their first in 21 years and the Mountaineer faithful brought a solid contingency to Winston-Salem yesterday to give the Couch a distinctive home-field feel for the program.
