To say Duke needs a win is an understatement.
Final: Carolina 8, Duke 7.
Tempers flared in the 8th but didn't get out of control. Carolina hit a solo home run to take the lead and the first pitch to the next batter hit him in the head. It wasn't intentional as the pitch was a curve ball. As the announcer stated, if Girard was trying to hit him he would have thrown a fast ball. Carolina batter was not amused and had to be restrained.

Lost weekend for Duke baseball. Now losing 8-4 to the heels in the sixth. The brooms are out at the dump on the hump.
"This is the best of all possible worlds."

Taylor's 2 run single cuts it to 8-6, but the heels have the bases loaded w/ no outs.
"This is the best of all possible worlds."

16-6, heels still batting. I believe the bat boy is now pitching for Duke.
