Loperfido goes yard in the 9th. 5-1.
Carey is thru 7 at 99 pitches and likely through for the night.

Duke can be seeded 8th-12th in the ACC Tournament. Don't ask me to think of tiebreakers or fill in slots until Saturday. It's really close.
Duke is the 4th highest ACC team in the RPI (#37). Only 5 have top 40 RPI; unfortunately UNC climbed to #40 with late-inning heroics @GT.
Duke has the #1 non-conference RPI ranking with a top 20 SOS in both overall and non-conference SOS.
Great games by Carey and Crabtree tonight.
Duke with the early 2-0 lead in the first.
Make that 3-0.

I just tuned in. 4-0 Duke.

Good time for a double play. 4-0 Duke at the end of 1.
A Rothenberg RBI double followed by a Crabtree 3-run homer makes it 8-0 Duke.
Bob Green
3R homer by Schreck. Duke leads 11-1 T3.
Cool story the announcer had about Cooper Stinson's parents attending the Duke game today after attending older brother Graeme Stinson's game pitching for the Charleston RiverDogs yesterday. I believe Charleston is a Tampa Bay Rays minor league affiliate.

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
Duke leads 13-3 after 4. I want to see Cooper pitch one more to possibly get the W.
I'm not sure the ACC allows mercy rule games the weekend before the ACC tournament, but they should consider it.
Cooper hits his 4th batsman of the game - going for the record.

We have a ballgame again after a Clemson GS. 13-8 Duke.
