KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) --- Marek Houston went 3 for 5 with a home run and a
double and four RBIs, Matthew Dallas pitched 7 2/3 solid innings and Wake
Forest eliminated Cincinnati from the Knoxville Regional with a 10-3 victory

The Demon Deacons (38-21) will play No. 14 national seed Tennessee in the

held scoreless until the eighth inning. Wake Forest was up 10-0 by then.
Austin Hawke and Matt Scannell also went deep for the Demon Deacons, who have
homered 12 times over three regional games.
Dallas (5-1) allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk and struck out four in
his longest outing of the season.
Jack Natili had an RBI groundout and Christian Mitchelle hit a two-run double
in the eighth for the Bearcats' runs.
Wake Forest tagged Cincinnati starter Carson Marsh (3-6) for four runs in 2 1/3
innings.
