Previous Season

In 2014, the Demon Deacons finished the season as champions of the ACC's Coastal Division with a record of 44–19, 24–6 in conference play. They qualified for the 2014 Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball Tournament, and were eliminated in pool play. They qualified for the 2014 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament, and were hosts of the Coral Gables regional which included Texas Tech, Columbia, and Bethune-Cookman.
