OMAHA, Neb. — Stanford pushed the nation’s No. 1 team to the edge Saturday. Wake Forest, so dominant throughout this postseason, suddenly looked mortal, vulnerable, beatable.Wake Forest scored twice in the eighth inning to beat Stanford 3-2 in the College World Series. Danny Corona’s sharp single to center field, off Cardinal reliever Ryan Bruno, brought home both runs and propelled Wake Forest to victory.
But they didn’t lead when it mattered, creating a disarmingly quiet postgame locker room. Players sat in front of their lockers staring blankly ahead or silently fiddling with their phones.TCU opens College World Series with loss Wake Forest arrived in Omaha with a distinct aura, given its record and ruthless stampede through the postseason. The Demon Deacons outscored their opponents 75-16 in winning five games before Saturday. Starting pitcher Rhett Lowder was 15-0 on the season, with flowing locks and a glowing 1.92 ERA.
Starting pitcher Joey Dixon and relievers Drew Dowd and Nick Dugan mostly quieted Wake Forest’s offense. But Dugan and Bruno each issued a walk in the eighth — to Nick Kurtz and Brock Wilken, Wake Forest’s most dangerous hitters — to jump-start the decisive rally.
