It was one thing for Wake Forest’s baseball team to fight back with three season-extending wins over the last two days. The Deacons just couldn’t muster a rally from down six runs in the decisive game of the Knoxville regional against Tennessee, though. Wake Forest lost 11-5 to Tennessee on Monday night at Lindsey Nelson Stadium, ending the season one win away from the super regional round of the NCAA tournament. The Vols (46-17) will play Arkansas this upcoming weekend in a best-of-3 series.

Three times in the last two days, Wake Forest’s baseball season has been on the line. For the third time, the Deacons staved off elimination — this time walking into a win. Jack Winnay drew a four-pitch walk with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning for a 7-6 win against Tennessee on Sunday night at Foley Field. It sets up a winner-take-all final game of the Knoxville regional, which will be played at 8 p.m. Monday night and shown on ESPN2.

The offense was there again, first with some timely hitting by Wake Forest’s baseball team and then a few moonshot home runs. But the story of the Deacons extending their season starts with Matthew Dallas. Wake’s sophomore left-hander pitched seven shutout innings in a career performance, leading the way for the Deacons’ 10-3 victory against Cincinnati on Sunday at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. Wake Forest (38-21) will play regional host Tennessee on Sunday night.

Score and score some more until the season has at least one more game on the schedule. Wake Forest’s baseball team staved off elimination by beating Miami (Ohio) 14-13 on Saturday afternoon at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The Deacons (37-21) will play another elimination game Sunday afternoon, against the loser of tonight’s game between Cincinnati and Tennessee. Wake Forest lost to the Bearcats on Friday; the Vols are the regional host.

Starting the NCAA tournament in an eight-run hole is about as bad as it gets. Wake Forest’s baseball team fell behind by that much and lost 11-6 to Cincinnati in the first game of the Knoxville regional on Friday at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The Deacons (36-21) are one loss away from their season ending. They’ll play the loser of tonight’s Miami (Ohio)-Tennessee game at noon Saturday. And they’ll hope for a better beginning to the game.
