Miami up 5-0 in the 2nd. Not the start were looking for.

[duke2x]

Henry might be taking one for the pen for tomorrow's game. It's 8-0 Miami in the 2nd.

[duke2x]

Loperfido grand slam. Miami leads 9-4.

Final was Miami by 11-5 score. All of the pieces have to come together pretty soon.

B7: Miami 3, Duke 1. Marcus Johnson pitching for Duke now. I was out running an errand so I don’t know how Miami scored.

kickoff return? One of my ugliest Duke sports memories ever.

B7: Miami 3, Duke 1. Marcus Johnson pitching for Duke now. I was out running an errand so I don’t know how Miami scored.

A walk, a hit by pitch, a wild pitch, and rbi ground out and a 2 run homer.

It's now 6-1 in the 8th.

[Bob Green]

Miami completes the sweep with a 7-1 win.

Ouch - but the truth hurts I guess. This team hasn't shown any flashes of post-season since the opening series. Right now they aren't making the ACC tournament. Hard to say what happened - but pitching has hurt them a lot, as has lack of timely hitting. I listened to almost the entire game today. Too many stranded runners and the bullpen imploded.

I guess that's what we get for calling Duke a baseball school.

Stunned at the team’s record. Obviously everyone is disappointed. But we have an easier 2nd half schedule. Who knows if a few guys (can we say pitching) catch lightning in a bottle?

[duke2x]

Right now they aren't making the ACC tournament.

We would be tied for the last slot with NCSU right now. I'm not sure how the tiebreaker goes there, but it's too early to worry about it. It's really concerning we lost a series to last place BC.

To have a competitive NCAA RPI (35 or better), we probably need about a +4 or +5 overall record, .400+ ACC record, and a strong finish. There's a lot of basketball season flashbacks at this point. We probably have to win all but 1-2 of our remaining series.

[Bob Green]

Billy Seidl on the mound for Duke against NCCU. It is his first career start.

[Bob Green]

At the end of three innings, Duke leads 2-1.

[Bob Green]

Duke expands the lead to 8-1 in the 4th. Eagles changing pitchers for the second time this inning.
