Baseball Sweeps, Thank GOD

Wake Forest came up on the schedule at the perfect time this past weekend. The 'Deacs were outscored 27-3 over the weekend and got swept.

So, what does this mean? Well in the polls, we moved up. Now we're at #7 in ESPN poll and #7 in the Baseball America poll. But the polls don't matter. There is a legit NCAA Tournament at the end of the season, and I just want to see us host the Regionals and the Super Regionals. Baseball America has an early look on the NCAA Tournament. (created before this past weekend).

We also have taken more than a 1 game lead on the ACC Coastal Division and have claimed the best record in the ACC.

ATLANTIC DIVISION
School Conference Pct. Overall Pct.
Florida State 12-7-0 .632 25-12-0 .676
Clemson 12-9-0 .571 26-14-0 .650
Boston College 10-9-0 .526 24-15-0 .615
NC State 7-14-0 .333 19-21-0 .475
Wake Forest 6-15-0 .286 20-19-0 .513
Maryland 6-15-0 .286 18-21-0 .462
COASTAL DIVISION
School Conference Pct. Overall Pct.
Georgia Tech 13-5-1 .711 26-8-1 .757
North Carolina 13-7-0 .650 31-10-0 .756
Virginia 11-7-1 .605 30-8-1 .782
Miami 11-10-0 .524 26-13-0 .667
Duke 10-11-0 .476 27-15-0 .643
Virginia Tech 9-11-0 .450 24-13-0 .649

I really don't know how we are doing it. We have had to deal with inconsistency a lot over the year, but I'm not going to ask any questions.

Next up is (another) big series against Clemson AT Clemson. This series is always huge and Clemson fans know how to be loud at baseball games. It should be a good one.
