Wake Forest's Season Ends as Regional Chaos Continues Across the NCAA Tournament on Sunday

Wake Forest's season came to an end Sunday in Morgantown, where a combination of self-inflicted errors proved too much to overcome West Virginia. The Demon Deacons' elimination was one of several notable developments during another chaotic day in the Regionals, as upsets, dramatic finishes, and season-ending losses continued across the country.

No. 13 Nebraska was eliminated in an early game on Sunday, becoming the second national seed to be eliminated. No. 9 Southern Miss was eliminated on Saturday. However, the biggest upset came in an elimination game in the Los Angeles Regional, where No. 1 UCLA lost to Saint Mary's.

What's Next for Wake Forest Baseball

The Demon Deacons now begin their offseason. The transfer portal opens tomorrow (June 1) and remains open for the entire month of June. It will be interesting to watch what happens with this young team, as there are not many seniors on the roster. Can Tom Walter and his staff keep the majority of the team intact, or will he make major changes? Whatever happens, our staff at Wake Forest On SI will be tracking it all.
