the hurricanes have been pounding those storming relations conference. a saturday night show is coming up with plenty of fireworks. it's on deck with csn. ful i ida. home of a college baseball power, the hurricanes.

aim hernandez and the hurricanes have indeed been storming their way through the acc. a chance tonight to make it 4- 4, winning their fourth straight acc series this year. and for the hurricanes to get started so well. jason, keep in mind, they have still have four tough matches in the season. so. >> last night the hurricanes made it 7 straight wins against the deem indeacons of wake forest. >> just a typical performance for them. the hurricanes came out getting that friday victory. always a key victory when you are hoping to win a series. >> as far as this evening starting match up on the mound, a cull of left handers. a freshman for wake forest, tim

cooney gets to start as well. >> you will see the same kind of pitching in tim cooney, freshman, saturday starter. a big start for him. possibly the biggest in his career. >> eriksson moves up in the rotation. >> and eriksson, unfortunately a guy who has had to battle injuries. >> an absolutely beautiful night for college baseball. important job in a man's life,at but it doesn't have to be hard. all it takes is a few minutes of your time. because the smallest moments can have the biggest impact on a child's life.

the the hurricanes getting stretched out on the field with their traditional pre-game warmup tosses. you see the wind blowing out towards left field. no threat of rain tonight. temperature 76 degrees. relatively low humidity by south florida standards. just a few miles down the road

you have the tennis tournament going on. major league basable starting. final four action as well. fielder. carlos lopez plays 1st base. la vanski kroker and the 2nd base man is mark rhine. for the hurricanes, scott lawson, frankie ratcliff, harold mar are martinez. glendale behind the plate. you see the hurricanes defensively. .969 their field percentage. and with a record of 2-1. left-

hander eric erickson. eric erickson had been the sunday afternoon starter for jason morris' hurricanes, and that really a buy product of an injury. and surgery for eriksson last year. he is on the come back trail. he is a veteran and a key to this team's success this year. >> this was a guy really because of those injuries his career is not going to be what it could have been. what i mentioned at the opening, jason, eriksson is one of the best pitchers in the country when he is healthy. this kid in 29 innings of work has three base-on-balls. incredible controls. he works both sides of the plate. when he keeps the ball down you see a lot of ground balls and usually a quick game. >> jason: 1-1 the count. that one is fouled out of play. pat blair, rhinism neck.

the demon deacons come in with an over all record of 9 and 19. they started the season 6 and 6 with the bulk of those games at home. 2 and 8 their record in the acc. this will be the shortstop stephen perez. a long throw-in plenty of time to get per air. >> a lot of freshmen. you see the shortstop for the hurricanes. perez a freshman as well. this wake forest team has battled some injuries this year and they haven't come together as a ball club yet. a lot of young players in this ball club. rhinism in this case -- ryan sim inic. who better to give it, delivering it in the head coach

jason morris. should be plenty of opportunities tor this wake forest offense to try to make contact as eriksson likes to use an economy of pitches. as i mentioned, as you saw, the brutely pulled semeniuk. and there you saw thim in a 2-0 count. hitter was sitting on a fastball there and he took some off there. a weak fly ball to the 1st base. two quick outs in the top half of the 1st inning. he is a guy that is really masterful on the mound. as a hitter you have to have discipline. this is a tough guy to

approach. steven brooks the junior out of wycoff new jersey comes in hitting .327. he is a speed ter. one of those multitolled players for wake forest. could be higher inle lineup with that speed. as mentioned brings the average and the power as well for head coach tom walter. brooks was 17th steels in base. one of those leaders in the acc. a guy who kind of does it call for the demon deacons ball club. eriksson wears the number 17. a 1-1 pitch. hit. left center field. this will carry. that one is gone. it is a solo home run for steven brooks in wake forest on the board early with a power shot off of eriksson.

and for brooks that's his fourth home run of the season. we talked about his speed. one of the league leaders in the league with stolen bases. you see eriksson coming in with a fastball and it's a pitch that got too much of the plate. i'm sure eriksson was trying to hit that inside corner. good compact swing. you see the pitch gets too much of the plate. brooks turns on it and hits it out of the ballpark for the first run of the demon deacons. >> jason: wake forest didn't score last night innocent the 4th inning. now, with the early advantage, which should help, their starting pitcher, a freshman, tim cooney, waits watching from the dugout. it's mike murray left-handed designated hilter at the plate. and the count is 1-1. top

batting average on this team .354 to murray's name. 25 runs batted in. there's strike two. >> murray is a guy that likes that ball inside. he'll turn on it. looks like eriksson is going to work the outside part of the plate against him. >> jason: over the shortstop, stephen perez into left center. a big turn and heading for two. and he will get in there standing up with a two out double from mike murray. back to back extra base hits for the demon deacons. >> we opened talking about eric erickson and how important location is for him. this is the second time in this inning where we see the pitch is not hitting that spot. on brooks he got a pitch that got too much of the plate.

he just got too much of the plate there. >> jason: the man in scoring position, mac williamson, the right fielder out in front of that one. eriksson, a record of two wins, one loss. a home run average of 3.34. this is seventh appearance of the season. he name with 27 strikeouts to the 3 walks. as you mentioned, he is going to be in the zone. you got to make sure, especially against a very talented wake forest lineup, you don't give him too good a pitch to hit. as you saw the case with brooks a home run, a doub

anncr vo: it's so easy, a caveman can do it. caveman: unbelievable... caveman: where's my coat? it was suede with the fringe. vo: download the glovebox app free at geico.com. the hurricanes trailing wake forest. the hurricanes have been a hitting teams this year reaching double digits in hits. plenty of speed as well with newcomers. followed by a talented scott lawson and the very versatile talented catcher yasmani gran

dal. frankie ratcliff comes in hitting .282. carlos lopez's second start at the college level. shane kroker in the hot corner. pat blair the shortstop. even brooks and mac williamson in the outfield. mike low vanky is the catcher. you see the strike out to walk ratio. 24-7. three wins, one loss and that e.r.a. below three. very impressive for a freshman. and has been solid throughout the year in the start rotation for the demon deacons and their

freshman into the program. little by little they will get it turned around. you and i both learned today about lake forest, they don't accept junior college transfers. that limits what you can do as a coach and what you can bring into the program. >> jason: it's so tough in the aca. any time there is a coaching transition, as there was in winston-salem prior to this year, you have to put a blueprint together. it doesn't happen over night. it comes through recruiting. it comes throughputting your stamp. what your style is. it will take some time. you see that conversation between wake forest and tom walters. greg street down the first line. umpire frank sylvester at third. the hurricanes are set offensive. >> you talk about blueprints

for wake forest, you don't have to look very far to find those. you have miami, florida state in the aca. and coaches that have been can pick up the phone. you have a couple coaches right there who can help you out. >> jason: devoss shows bunt. there it came at the knees. the count is 2-1. lots a speed at the top of had hurricane lineup with devoss and perez. both of them with nine stolen bases. there is a strike. we show this not a um offense that will over we will am you with power. certainly they do have power sources with grand dal, martinez. there is a beauty to get it

with this offense. he can get aggressive, hit-and- run, do some things that will keep the hurricanes on their toes, as they are, in that 1st base dugout. >> i got a guy like scott lawson hitting 3rd, which one of your better average hitters on the ball club. this is a guy that handles the ball well. not your typical three hole hitter. he is more of a number two guy. you see him hitting .301 on the season. >> jason: a lefty pickoff move by cooney. one of those good counts on the bases. >> jason: carlos lopez defensively at 1st base. here is the 2-0 pitch.

just low, a little bit outside, and now seven straight balls thrown by the freshman cooney. you wonder really the biggest stage he has been on in his young baseball career playing here in front of this large crowd in coral gables against the perennial power at the university of miami and a chance for the wake forest coaches to see more of the medal of coone. there is a strike as he tries to fight his way back in the count. >> big crowd here at alex rodriguez park. you ber believe he knows he is on tv. the on-deck hitter waiting to bat. yasmani gran dal, you don't want to get him up there with two guys on and one guy out. >> jason: that's why it's so important for guys like lawson at the plate and perez who drew the walk to add that discipline, try to get on base through whatever means possible, especially with the

type of tear granddaughter has been on lately. gran dal has been on lately. the walk is send straight. that is not good for wake forest with the yasmani grand all companying up to the plate. a tough situation. you got the runner perez at first, as you mentioned. and we got a pretty good read on it. you got to imagine that affecting the control of tim cooney, a guy we talked at the beginning of the game, just seven base-on-balls in his first 39 innings of work in this first season here. he got two back-to-back walks in the 1st inning.

by far the best hurricane hitter. let's get a little more information on this starting pitcher. freshman cooney from his head coach tomorrow the walter. >> tim pecuniary from pennsylvania is a true freshman. he has been one of our two best guys and probably our most consistent guy all year. he throws three pitches for strikes. doesn't throw with a great deal of velocity, but a great deal of confidence. he pitches deception and he can throw any pitch at any time to left-handed and right- handed hitters. >> jason: both runners going. throw down to third is late go. there is jason morris getting aggressive with the freshman pitcher tim cooney. you had the freshman stephen perez with the green light at 2nd base. the base runners are taught if you get a jump and you go to

the bag, you go to the bag. but now 1st base is open. you see the jump there from the home plate camera. good job at 1st base by scott lawson. now expect cooney to pitch around grandal. >> jason: he will score on the underout by yasmani grandal. you're right, there was a lot going on in that situation. the baserunner is moving on. the count 2-0. obviously with that pitch pitcher cooney not afraid to challenge that who went in at bat. >> that was actually a pretty good pitch to hit there. 2-0, it shows you some of the confidence that he pitches with. the other part is you have harold martinez wait on deck. if you load the bases pore

martinez he has good power, leads the hurricanes in homeruns. >> jason: right to the shortstop. a run scores but could have been much worse for wake forest. instead at peyt goke ahere fhe o. freci hit uy, at g [ nnou wir on ]tch tch fmalencerstar fth ws fu a boey-cn cr [ ] natie, in!

his best. get the hitters behind on the count and change it up. take another look here. all of a sudden sitting on a fastball. offspeed pitch in the dirt. first out in
