The Chanticleers scored six runs in the second inning and three runs in the bottom of the seventh to come from behind twice in a 13-11 midweek home win over No. 2/5 nationally-ranked Wake Forest on Tuesday night in Conway, S.C. The win was the Chanticleers' first win over a nationally-ranked opponent this season (1-1) and their first win over a top-10 nationally-ranked foe since defeating No. 8 East Carolina 9-1 at the 2022 NCAA Greenville Regional on May 5, 2022, of last year. The victory over No. 2/5 Wake Forest was the highest-ranking win over a nationally-ranked team since defeating No. 2 NC State 7-6 in Raleigh, N.C., on April 10, 2019, and the highest-ranked win at home since beating No. 3 North Carolina 5-2 in Springs Brooks Stadium on May 9, 2018. With the win over the Demon Deacons on Tuesday night, Coastal improved to 27-15 all-time versus Wake Forest and has won nine of the last 10 meetings between the two teams dating back to the 2018 season.
