Wake Forest DH Kade Lewis lined a shot off the left-field wall to score Marek Houston from first to extend the lead to 14-9 in the eighth. It was Lewis' 25th multi-hit game of the season. Leffew allowed two quick runs in the ninth before Lunceford entered with the bases loaded. Blake Buzzeo singled on the first pitch and the left fielder misplayed it allowing two to score. Lunceford got a pop up and a strikeout to end it for his first save of the season. Brian Smiley, the MAC Baseball Coach of the Year, was ejected in the ninth inning before his team scored four runs in the bottom half. ___ AP sports:
