Wake Rake Forest baseball is no longer undefeated at the mercy of Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers hosted the undefeated, No. 5-ranked Demon Deacons on Tuesday night and took them down in an extremely disrespectful manner— in a good way.

Smith, 29, has spent his entire career with Tampa Bay.
The Buccaneers’ offseason, to this point, has been marked by various cost-cutting moves to get under the salary cap. That strategy continued Tuesday with the release of veteran offensive tackle Donovan Smith.
