WRAL Story on 1955 National Championship Baseball Team

With the College World Series beginning on Saturday, viewers will likely hear that only one ACC team has ever won a national championship in baseball. That team is the 1955 Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The Deacs defeated Western Michigan 7-6 to win the title.

Ken Medlin from WRAL recently caught up with Tommy Cole. Cole was the rightfielder and team captain for the Deacs that year. He led the team in homers with seven but was forced to sit out for most of the CWS after suffering a knee injury. Medlin's piece on the '55 Deacs is available here.
