Mike Murray hit a three-run homer and Willy Fox drove in three runs as the Wake Forest baseball team beat Duke 9-4 on Sunday to complete a three-game weekend sweep.

The Demon Deacons (22-27, 11-15 ACC) won their sixth consecutive home game and are one win from a berth in the ACC tournament.

The Blue Devils (34-17-1, 8-17-1) were led by Alex Hassan with two runs.

With its sixth consecutive win at home, Wake Forest is 22-27 overall and 11-15 in the ACC. The Deacons need to win once at Boston College next weekend or have Duke lose once at Virginia Tech in order to qualify for the eight-team conference tournament.

Sunday's game was the final one at Wake Forest's Gene Hooks Stadium.

Willy Fox and Mike Murray drove in three runs apiece to lead Wake Forest.

Fox went 3-for-4, with all three of his hits and RBI coming in the first three innings, and Murray finished 2-for-4, including his 11th home run of the season and his second of the series.
