No. 14 Wake Forest Powers Past No. 24 Baseball, 16-6, in Seven Innings

CONWAY, S.C. – It was the best of times and worst of times for the No. 24 Coastal Carolina baseball team in a 16-6, seven-inning defeat to No. 14 Wake Forest on Tuesday at Springs Brooks Stadium.

A season-best crowd of 3,750 packed the Palace for the highly-anticipated showdown of ranked teams. For the first three innings, Coastal fans got the show they were looking for. 

Coastal Carolina (12-5) took advantage of early free passes to keep pace in the first two innings, tying the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the first on a solo home run from Caden Bodine and an RBI single from Sebastian Alexander. The Chanticleers added two more in the second without recording a hit, using a walk, hit batter, and fielder's choice to plate runs.

Up 5-4 in the top of the fourth, the Demon Deacons (15-3) plated seven runs to put things out of reach. Kade Lewis led the charge, going 4-for-4 with three RBIs, including a two-run homer in the fourth. Ethan Conrad added a three-run shot in the second as part of his two-hit, three-RBI performance.

Following the Wake outburst in the fourth, Coastal's bats went quiet. The Chanticleers managed just five hits on the night, with Brice Estep delivering a late RBI double in the sixth.

Wake Forest's Matt Bedford (2-2) earned the win in relief, tossing two scoreless innings. Coastal reliever Darin Horn (0-1) took the loss after allowing three runs in 2.1 innings of work.
