Winston-Salem, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - The fifth-ranked Louisville Cardinals will play their first-ever Atlantic Coast Conference game, as they take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Sunday evening at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Stadium. Rick Pitinos Cardinals have just one loss on the season, but it was to bitter rival Kentucky last weekend. Louisville was able to get some distance from the 58-50 loss to the Wildcats with a 63-48 win over Long Beach State last Tuesday to close out non-conference play and move to 12-1 on the year. Danny Mannings first season in Winston-Salem has come with mixed reviews thus far. The Demon Deacons have played better of late with wins in three straight and four of their last five games, but competing in the very top-heavy ACC will certainly be a challenge. Wake closed out non-league play and opened a three-game homestand on New Years Eve, knocking off Princeton, 80-66. This is just the fourth all-time meeting between these two programs. Louisville holds a 2-1 series edge, although it was Wake that got the win last time these teams met, a 60-59 decision in the 1996 NCAA Tournament. Louisville got off to a strong start against Long Beach State last week and took a 34-19 lead into halftime, but had to fend off a second half run by the 49ers to earn the victory. Sophomore guard Terry Rozier was masterful in the victory, netting 23 points, while grabbing seven rebounds, dishing out three assists and recording six steals. Junior forward Montrezl Harrell added 16 points to the cause, while senior forward Wayne Blackshear finished with 12. Rozier has really turned it on of late, as the 6-foot-1 youngster has averaged just under 22 points per game over the last six outings. He currently leads the Cardinals in scoring at 17.1 ppg. Harrell is an All-America candidate and one of the nations premier players. He is shooting 60 percent from the floor and is averaging a near double-double with 16.0 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. Blackshear (13.3 ppg) provides frontcourt depth, while Chris Jones (11.4 ppg) does the same in the backcourt. Louisville not only has scoring depth, but has played tremendous defense for the most part, limiting foes to just 54.2 ppg this year, while holding them well under 40 percent shooting efficiency (.350). The Demon Deacons have struggled at times at the offensive end and that is not good news going up against a stingy team like Louisville. Wake Forest enters this contest averaging 70.2 ppg, on a modest .420 shooting. The team has done a nice job on the boards though, holding a +9.4 rebounding margin. A lot of that has to do with the play of junior forward Devin Thomas, who ranks second on the team in scoring (10.7 ppg), but first in the ACC in rebounding (9.6 rpg). Thomas is joined in double-figure scoring by just one other Demon Deacons, that being junior guard Codi Miller-McIntyre, who leads the team at 13.1 ppg. Wake was able to put up 80 points on Princeton last time out, thanks to a balanced attack that saw five Demon Deacons finish the game in double figures. Freshman forward Konstantinos Mitoglou led the way with 15 points off the bench. Fellow freshmen Mitchell Wilbekin and Cornelius Hudson added 12 points each, followed by Thomas (11 pts) and Darius Leonard (10 pts). Thomas just missed a double-double with nine rebounds, while Miller-McIntyre (nine points, 11 assists) came close as well.

The slumping Middlebrooks pumped his fist a few times after hitting an RBI single with the bases loaded, capping a two-run rally in the eighth inning that sent the Red Sox over the Cincinnati Reds 4-3 Wednesday night for a sweep of the two-game interleague series. "I just wanted to help the team win and to contribute," Middlebrooks said. Mired in a 2-for-19 stretch and coming off an 0-for-5 night with a pair of strikeouts, Middlebrooks sent a hard grounder up the middle for the go-ahead run. "Ive been frustrated, but regardless if youre 10-for-10 or 0-for-10 or whatever, youre happy to contribute to a win in any way possible," he said. David Ortiz and Mike Napoli also drove in runs for the World Series champions, who reached .500 for the first time since the fourth game of the season. They failed in eight previous chances. "I dont think it was a mental hurdle," Boston manager John Farrell said. "I never heard too many of us mention that were bumping up against .500 and taking a step back. It was just more of a situation inside games where we had opportunities that we havent cashed in on, finally we do tonight." Skip Schumaker hit a two-run homer for Cincinnati, who lost the opener to Boston 4-3 in 12 innings. It was the Reds 11th one-run loss, most in the majors. "We play a lot of low scoring, one-run games," Reds manager Bryan Price said. "Were battling and well be whole soon, but until then weve got to find a way to create some distance between ourselves and our opponent. Itll come down to making every single play over the course of those last three innings to win the game, and it cant be like that every single day of a baseball season." Trailing 3-2 in the eighth, the Red Sox scored against two relievers. "Its tough," Reds left fielder Chris Heisey said. "We felt like we had the game and let it slip away." Napoli drew a one-out walk from Manny Parra, J.J. Hoover (1-4) walked pinch-hitter Jonny Gomes and A.J. Pierzynskis ground-rule double tied it at 3. Jackie Bradley Jr. was intentionally walked before Middlebrooks had his tiebreaking hit. Craig&nnbsp;Breslow (2-0), who also got the win in Tuesdays game, pitched one hitless inning.dddddddddddd Koji Uehara struck out the final three batters for his eighth save. Cincinnati starter Mike Leake pitched seven strong innings and was in line for the win before Boston rallied. He gave up two runs on eight hits, walking two and striking out four. Bostons Jake Peavy allowed three or fewer runs for the sixth time in seven starts, giving up three runs on four hits with four walks and five strikeouts. The Reds took a 3-2 lead in the seventh when Roger Bernadina bounced a slow groundout to second against reliever Chris Capuano with the bases loaded. In the bottom half, Heisey made a nice inning-ending running catch on Shane Victorinos liner into the gap with the tying run on second. Boston tied it with a pair of runs in the sixth on a run-scoring single by Ortiz and RBI double by Napoli. It could have been worse for Leake, but Grady Sizemore bounced to second with runners on second and third and, after an intentional walk, Bradley Jr. hit an inning-ending grounder. Schumaker, who came off the 15-day disabled list on Saturday after being sidelined since spring training with a dislocated left shoulder, homered in the third after Heisey had a leadoff double. The teams bounced into a combined five double plays, with the Red Sox turning three. NOTES: Farrell didnt start SS Xander Bogaerts to "get another left-handed bat in the lineup."
