Just announced that the weekend attendance at The Couch was 5,967, a regular-season series record. Great weekend and the fans played a huge role. Time to finish the job.

Hartle adds two strikeouts to his total (9), and keeps the lead at two. Hawke-Johnson-Kurtz due up. Wake: 3 Miami: 1 B6

Josh Hartle is REALLY FREAKING GOOD

Walters comes in and slams the door shut on the Deacs, stranding two. That's going to do it for Josh Hartle, and another very good start for the sophomore: 6.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 9K In to pitch is Seth Keener, who tossed a scoreless inning yesterday. Wake: 3 Miami: 1 T7

It is now 4:18. This very well could be the final inning. Can't start a new one after 4:45. Miami has a flight to catch.

Dave Clawson goes up to NESCAC country to bolster his defensive line. Two-time conference defensive player of the year.

Keener comes out of the bullpen and strikes out three batters. Reinisch-Costello-Cueto due up. Wake: 3 Miami: 1 B7

GIO CUETO TO THE MOOOOOOOOOON 102 mph off the bat and 384 ft over the left field wall gives the Deacs an insurance run. Wake: 4 Miami: 1 B7, 2 Outs

Miami makes a pitching change at 4:36. Two outs in the inning. If the next 9 minutes go quick, they may have just lost themselves the game on that call.

Hawke flies out to left to end the inning, but the Deacs get an insurance run on a Cueto homer. We will go to the eighth at 4:38. Keener back to the mound. Wake: 4 Miami: 1 T8

FINAL: Wake Forest 4, Miami 1 (8 innings) Hartle: 6.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 9 K Bennett: 1-4, 3 RBI, HR Cueto: 1-1, 2 HBP, BB Hawke: 2-4 Johnson: 1-2 Deacs get the huge sweep against a ranked team. Will return to action for a Tuesday midweeker 20 miles down I-74 at High Point.

"Huge win for the program. Josh Hartle battled early, settled down and threw the ball really well." - Wake Forest head coach Tom Walter

"This is a culmination of a lot of hard work by a lot of people. Just a testament to all the great things we are doing at Wake Forest." - Tom Walter on the weekend attendance record Also touched on the success of the athletic department as a whole, referenced John Currie, Steve

"We're a really special staff. I'm really thankful to be a part of it." - Josh Hartle on Wake Forest holding Miami to 2 runs all weekend *Miami scored 37 last weekend*

"I've never seen the Couch as packed as it was. I'm forever grateful to the Wake Forest community." - Josh Hartle

For the second-straight year, the ACC (which has routinely been looked down upon) will have a team in the Final Four. There will not be another representative from any other Power Five conference. I'm sure this fact will be promptly forgotten the moment next season tips off.

Congratulations to Coach Larrañaga and the Miami Hurricanes for making the Final Four! This group has such amazing chemistry and trust in each other. I love watching them play. It's just fun basketball. And Coach L is the mastermind behind it all... ACC represent!

Certainly worth a look from Wake Forest here.

Sorry these are long... but Deacons Daily is officially ending :..( I'm really proud of what we we were able to build as a team in less than a year. Big s/o to Essex Thayer Ben Conroy and the rest of DD! Don't worry though... I'm not going anywhere 😎 More details ⬇️
