2019 Duke Baseball

[JasonEvans]

It's very unlikely to happen, but the NCAA has some unusual rules if a series can't complete 3 games by Monday night:

1-0: The winner of game 1 advances.
0-0 or 1-1: Vandy advances.

Hang on... you are telling me that after beating the every-loving !#@!^ out of them last night, if tonight's game goes 18 innings and Vandy wins 4-3 and then a monsoon rains out games the next 2 days then Vandy would advance? Yeah, that seems like NCAA logic.

[BlueDevil2K]

It's Tuesday rather than Monday, so three days. Other than that, it's true. Of course this has been pointed out with respect to UNC in particular, where they have to get three games in in the next four days:

I don't even want to think about the possibility of UNC getting a free pass to Omaha without playing a single inning...

[budwom]

chance of T-storms in Nashveal tonight, so adding a few extra hours to the DVR recording is a good idea, as is checking in to see if they change the channel on us, as they occasionally do...you can't be too careful.

Right? Go the soccer model and use aggregate!

Heels collapsing in the 8th in game 1. Auburn just had a three run double to go up 7-5.

Darn shame they couldn't have come up with a six run double...

[Indoor66]

On my schedule, the game is on ESPNU at 9:00.

4 more runs in top 9, now 11-5 Tigers. UNC relievers blowing it.

[AGDukesky]

They got the other 4 runs in the 9th and are still batting...

Wait...Auburn scoring big and beating UNC in the NCAA Tournament?

Where have I heard that before?

I'm thinking thoughts that would totally jynx both teams (Duke and the Cheaters), so I ain't vocalizing.

In other news, Ocracoke has been amazing.

And that's a final.

Auburn 97 -- UNC 80

oops, I mean Auburn 11 -- UNC 7

From my keyboard to the Auburn coaches and players.

[devildeac]

And that's a final.

Auburn 97 -- UNC 80

Close enough.

Did Luke Maye get a hit?

[brlftz]

Just want you all to know that after debating whether I should go to last night’s game but not, and then discovering that that was the right choice, I’m watching tonight’s game from my rally couch in Brentwood. It’s not raining here at the moment so I have my fingers crossed.

[Indoor66]

Did Luke Maye get a hit?

No but Hansblahblah took a walk.

[Pghdukie]

No but Hansblahblah took a walk.

Hansbrough was the right fielder and Maye was the center fielder when a deep fly was hit. Maye was yelling "can of corn, can of corn" Hansbrough misplays the ball. Hits him square in the head, and ends up over the fence for a HR. All this time we were made to believe it was Jose Canseco's mistake. Nope. The truth finally comes out.

[jwillfan]

Anyone know when it's supposed to start? ESPN telling me not started yet after 9...

[jwillfan]

Nm I finally got it to load, 2 outs and 15 pitches in.
