Marcus Johnson in to pitch for Duke in T4. Bases loaded with nobody out.

Lead cut to 8-7 when two runs score on a throwing error by Marcus Johnson. Jimmy Loper coming in to pitch.

I was listening on TuneIn while mowing my lawn and wouldn't be surprised if they heard me all the way at the DBAP when that happened. My fault, was following on the @DukeBase twitter feed, saw they were up, and tuned in.
Next inning the leadoff batter had 3-1 count against a new GT pitcher and swung - why does he have the green light there?
OK to leave it positive - watched a bit last night on the ACC network and was impressed with Henry Williams. Great pitch mix and command, reminded me of a young Bryce Jarvis. Hoping he can continue to develop.
Just checked the live box score and looks like Loper got out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the 8th - 9-7 Duke in the bottom of the 8th.
That’s a Blue Devil winner! Duke back to .500 at 10-10 with a 9-7 win over Georgia Tech.

Loper comes in and does his job. Rothenberg HR extended the lead for the final margin.
Much needed win over a top 15 team. Duke is now 5-7n in the ACC with a lot of work to do.

Big shout of thanks to both Bob and Chris for their updates. I wasn't able to watch today, so your posts were most welcome.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
Our team has to capitalize and get its head together again. Impressive preseason predictions, but so far not as advertised. Pollard is awesome. Hope we can build. Go Duke!
My son only played at DII, but in baseball it’s all about pitching. Three games every weekend, plus mid week. You need a lot of pitching, and sometimes you’re “lesser” mid week pitchers have to step up on the weekend. Need a lot of arms...
