A huge series. Tech is having a great season and a series (at least 2-of-3) win would go a long way towards re-establishing Duke's bona-fides and setting the Blue Devils up for a big April.

Stinson pulled before the start of 2nd inning. Perhaps a shoulder issue.
He was lucky to get out of the inning without a run scored... bases loaded with 2 walks, 1 hit by pitch... but three strikouts.
Update on Stinson is middle back tightness. Currently dealing with a bank of lights that are out.
Back to back bone crushing solo GT home runs. Second one showed up as an appetizer for the folks eating in the upper deck restaurant tables.
Our pitching needs help.
GT's third baseman just needs to turn pro yesterday.

Says Cooper Stinson was removed from the game out of an abundance of caution.
I nipped in and out of the game several times, and every time I saw a batter get plunked...was it Bad Aim Night at the ballpark?
Duke lost 3-0 yesterday. Put runners in scoring position multiple times but couldn’t advance them. Henry Williams was solid. Duke will try to avoid being swept today at 1 pm. Coverage on ACCNX and radio.
Today’s game start moved forward to 11 am due to weather.
Our Live RPI is dropping pretty rapidly with the GT series. It's starting to look like we overscheduled a bit with the extra ACC series and surprise results from Pitt, BC, and ND. While I think +4 overall record and .400 in the ACC is probably enough to get the last bid, that is obviously a moving target. We need to turn things around pretty quickly.
NCSU is currently the worst team in the ACC by record. Losing that series off the schedule really hurt.
Jack Carey is on the mound for the Devils, and looked really sharp. The Devils are facing yet another lefty starter. Coach has dramatically shuffled the lineup in an effort to spark our offense. 0-0 after one.
