How will Wake fare when they don't play on their 300 ft corners high school field? No homers?
They were 23-7 away from home. Losses to Coastal, Duke, Elon, Louisville, Pitt, FSU, and Miami in the ACC tourney. There's no dog in that list.
Wake may go 0-2 but it won't have anything to do with their field.
Wake was 16-6 in true road games and 2-1 in the ACC tournament. You are counting the "neutral" regional/SR games they played at home.
Wake averaged 7.8 runs a game away from their park. 195 runs. About 1/3 of those runs (60) were in 3 games against UNC Greensboro & Pitt. And yeah, Pitt was certainly a dog this year.
They averaged 10.2 runs in home games.
@ Clemson, Louisville, Duke & FSU Wake averaged 5.6 runs. So, they scored about 1/2 of what they did at home in road games vs teams with a pulse & talent.
I am always in the boat of until I see a hyped ACC team actually do something in Omaha I don't believe. Virginia was an underdog the year they won, and no other ACC team has won since the Korean War.
Wake looks good, but many teams have looked like that and then fell on their faces in Omaha.
