Virginia clobbers Duke 11-3. Our season is beginning to go down the tubes.
I am one of the most mild mannered human beings on the planet but I can say with almost 100% certainty I would have been ejected had that hit by pitch rule been in play/enforced when I played as it just was on RJ Schreck. Wow.
Virginia clobbers Duke 11-3. Our season is beginning to go down the tubes.

Duke has left the bass loaded twice. Not a good recipe for victory. We desperately need this game. Go Devils!

2-1 Duke headed to the 8th.

Duke wins 2-1. Game 3 TBD in 40 minutes. I have no idea how much they will get in. A split isn't a bad outcome right now.
That's a winner!
Duke 2, UVa 1.

Big, big win. Jarvis was great - had all his pitches working. Now let's win the series.

Headed to T4 with Duke still up 1-0. Bill Chillari pitched out of a jam in the bottom of the 3rd inning.

Duke 3-0 after Mervis 2R HR. That's huge as the clock continues to tick. (I know the NCAA rule, but I don't know the ACC cutoff time.)
What is the ACC rule?
The pitch he hit out was down and away - opposite field dinger.

We need 5 full innings for the win to count per NCAA rules. NCAA rules are subject to ACC conference rules. The ACC does not let another inning start after a certain time. It's 5PM, 6PM, etc. DHs might be different. I can't Google it, but 9 innings is unlikely.
Go Duke. Go, clock, go!
4-0 Duke.
Overturned call at the plate on a passed ball makes it 4-1

Get out the rye bread and mustard. Grand salami. Duke 8-1.
