Whoa
Never in baseball's 150-year history has a player finished a game with at least six hits, six runs and eight RBIs until Nick Kurtz tonight. His 19 total bases tie Shawn Green's single-game record -- and Kurtz had one more RBI. There's a genuine argument it is the best game ever.
Absolutely unreal. Let’s go Nicky Nukes!
NICK KURTZ. 20TH PLAYER IN MLB HISTORY TO HIT 4 HOME RUNS IN A GAME 🔥 6/6 4 HR, 6 R, 8 RBI HISTORIC GAME.
Update on former Deac Rhett Lowder from our friend @char_cliff from our sister station in Cincy. Good sign for Lowder but seems like he's still got a long way to go in terms of returning to the mound.
Terry Francona says Rhett Lowder has started throwing in Arizona and “it’s going in the right direction.” Still a ways to go. First bullpen session is — tentatively — August 17.
LATE NIGHT COMMIT: 2026 RHP Ethan Keller (@ethankeller2026) has committed to Wake Forest Absolutely huge pickup for the 2026 Wake Forest Recruiting Class, Team 112 is looking better and better each and every day #GoDeacs
New Wake Forest coach Jake Dickert is tasked with rebooting the Deacs while building on Dave Clawson's foundation. He also understands part of the job is ruining NC State's season. linktr.ee/ogtrianglemedia
Claiborne on where he grew up: "Country, Country, country. We had cows at my school, turkeys at my school"
Claiborne: "Those country folks will teach you how to work and how to get after it."
Demond Claiborne said that once Dave Clawson stepped down a ton of schools flooded his phone offering him money to hit the portal. Jake Dickert after his intro press conference simply talked to him about "How can I help you as a man off the field?" and that was all he needed
Demond Claiborne says he believes he's a 'little faster' than his video game 96 speed rating.
It's hard to listen to Dickert speak on the talent and leadership on stage and not believe this team is going to make some noise this season.
Wake Forest coach Jake Dickert: "I'm proud to be standing in front of you representing Wake Forest University."
talking "Built in the Dark" identity and more with @WakeFB Head Coach @CoachDickert here at ACC Football Kickoff. @WFMY #wfmysports
There is NO Wake Forest Football without the investment from Bob McCreary!!! Game Changer for our program and University.
Always great to have Bob McCreary ('61) back on campus 🏠
Please donate!!! Davin Cosby is Hunter’s former teammate at Wake Forrest. He was involved in a serious accident while traveling to Atlanta. His car was sideswiped by another driver that caused him to hit a semi. gofund.me/4bef1d9e
Wake Forest Football coach Jake Dickert: "Built in the Dark is not just a mantra — it’s who we are. Success doesn’t happen on gameday. It happens in the early mornings, in the film room, in the weight room, in the classroom — in the hours when no one else is watching."

feels like the ACC thinks Demond Claiborne is going to be the face of Wake Forest this year based on how many times he's been in this video #analysis
Live from ACC Kickoff here in Charlotte, North Carolina where Commissioner Jim Phillips is about to take the stage. We’re getting close to football, everyone. Let’s have a week
From Winston Salem to LA—proud of my brothers @CP3 and @jcollins20_ teaming up on the @LAClippers. Two world-class pros, even better humans, and Deacs forever. 🎩🏀👊🏽 Always rooting for you—unless you’re playing the Hawks! #GoDeacs
College coaches are just returning to Peach Jam today, but we’ve already seen some notable stock-risers this week. 247sports.com/article/peach-…
