Posted May 25, 2024
Nick Kurtz wouldn’t let Wake Forest lose. The No. 22-ranked Demon Deacons were down to their final strike in the ninth inning when Kurtz tied it with an RBI double. He hit a two-run homer in the 12th inning that broke the game open as they outlasted No. 7 North Carolina for a 9–5 12-inning victory at Truist Field in a game that ended early Saturday morning.
