DURHAM, N.C. (Interstat) — The Atlantic Coast Conference series between Wake Forest and Duke concludes Saturday with a doubleheader at Jack Coombs Field, featuring a scheduled afternoon game and an evening contest.

The Demon Deacons (37-17, 15-11 ACC) enter the day after a 7-2 victory Thursday afternoon in the series opener. Wake Forest holds a commanding lead in the season series, having won the last two meetings by a combined 14-2 margin.

Duke (24-29, 10-19) returns home after dropping Thursday’s game and looking to salvage the final two games of the three-game set.

Players to watch

Wake Forest right-hander Chris Levonas has been dominant in his last two outings. The sophomore threw six innings of no-hit ball Thursday against Duke, striking out 10 in the win. He also tossed two scoreless innings against Western Carolina on May 8. Over his last three appearances, Levonas has allowed only two earned runs while striking out 21 in 12.1 innings.

Duke reliever Sammy Petrocelli made his lone appearance of the series Thursday, pitching two scoreless innings with one strikeout. The right-hander has been a reliable arm out of the bullpen for the Blue Devils this season.
