No. 12 Wake Forest (35-16) extended its winning streak to eight games with a victory on Saturday. On Sunday, the Demon Deacons look to close out a three-game sweep at home against No. 2 Clemson (37-12). The Tigers, at 17-9 in Atlantic Coast Conference play, still lead the Atlantic Division by two games over Florida State, while Wake Forest improved to 14-12 and moved into fourth place in the Atlantic. The Demon Deacons, likely to receive a third consecutive NCAA tournament bid, reached the College World Series last season for the first time since its lone national championship in 1955. Clemson returned to the NCAA tourney last year after a four-year absence.
