Late-inning magic the name of the game for both baseball and softball this weekend.
Timely sweep 🧹 of VT. I was following box score while working in the yard.

Glad to come here and see the final - silly work got in the way.
I had to leave at the top of the 9th to go to the lacrosse game. I'm proud of our guys for the much-needed sweep; I just wish I had gotten to see it.
Congrats on making the ACC tournament. I have a feeling we will be 12th, but the difference between 5th and 12th in the standings is pretty slim. Winning our pod is probably more important than how we fare @Clemson next week (Th-Sat). We rarely play well down there, and I'm aware we swept them there in 2019.
From what I can tell about the ACC Tournament:
Duke is in a pod with ND and TBD unless it sweeps Clemson. If Duke sweeps Clemson, then Duke can be anywhere from 7th to 11th.
Davidson game starts early--4PM.
Now t hat Duke has qualified for the ACC Tournament, I looked into TV coverage and unfortunately found out that pool play will be broadcast by RSN which means many of us will not be able to watch the games. Most streaming services like mine, youtubeTV, don't carry RSN and streaming via watchespn will be blacked out. Somebody please tell me that I am wrong.

It is 5-1 Duke now and Davidson is changing pitchers.

Umpire undergoing concussion protocol. I've never heard of a 2-man umpiring crew in baseball.
In the bottom of the 4th Davidson made a cardinal baseball sin by making the third out at third base by trying to stretch a double into a triple. 5-1 after 4.
