When he came to Wake Forest, no one predicted Brock Wilken would do what he did in his historic career. That's because he ended up becoming one of, if not the best player in Wake Forest Baseball history. On April 25th, Brock launched his 59th career home run, breaking Jamie D'Antona's 20 year record of 58 long balls. The magnitude of the moment could be felt through the TV broadcast. A couple baseball YouTubers were at the game and caught it on video, as well. Overall, it was a heartfelt moment for Wilken and the large crowd in attendance. Of course, we now know that Brock would go on to hit well over 58 home runs in his career, but it was still a wholesome moment nonetheless.


Wake Forest went on to mercy rule Coastal Carolina 11-1 in seven innings.
