OMAHA, Neb. — It's a huge night for the Wake Forest Baseball team. They're playing for a chance to advance to the College World Series Championship Round.
The Demon Deacon faithful are ready to cheer on their team, today we talked to a fan who made the trip to Omaha to support their school over the weekend.
Now we're down to the Final Four teams left fighting for a National Title, it's truly a dream come true for Sam Sweitzer to be able to make it to Omaha, plus he got to go with his best friend from school, and his mom got to come along as well.
"I got to say thank you to my mom. Ever since elementary school, she and I talked about getting out to Omaha. I grew up playing baseball, she grew up watching. We never really cared who it was going to be. We figured we'd see Vanderbilt, or Florida, or one of the teams that are always there, but suddenly it's our own team that's there", Sweitzer said.
So, Sam his three buddies from college, and his mom all hopped on a plane to Omaha to see Wake Forest take on Stanford in game number one.
"I talked to my mom, she was like if you want to go with your friends have fun. I was like no way this is something we have to do together. So we flew out Friday night, woke up Saturday morning went to the Wake Forest tailgate, made our way to Rocco's bought some Jello shots to support the team, went to the game, and flew back the next day", Sweitzer said.
