WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Brock Wilken hit three of Wake Forest's record-tying nine home runs, and the Demon Deacons routed Alabama 22-5 on Sunday to win the Winston-Salem Super Regional.
The Demon Deacons won both games in the super regional series, advancing to the Men's College World Series for the third time and first time since winning the championship in 1955.
Wilken went deep in the first, third and ninth innings, increasing his total to an ACC-record 70 career home runs. Marek Houston blasted a grand slam and Danny Corona hit two home runs with six RBIs.
Tommy Hawke, Nick Kurtz and Bennett Lee also went deep for Wake Forest. The nine home runs tie the record for an NCAA tournament game.
