I could be completely wrong but
With Wake's pitching depth they have 3 top line starters. I could see them pitching any one of them in the pool play game that matters. They can pitch all of their "unneeded" pitchers in the pool play that does not matter. Then line up the other two top line starters on Sat and Sun.
Also, they are already a top seed in the NCAA tourney. The ACC title is important but maybe not at the risk of being ready for the NCAA?
Or they just wanted to rest after the weekend series with VT
