    From Instagram, sounds like Peyton is going to Fuqua and may be coming back to play next season.

    21st-ranked Duke leads Campbell 7-1 in the top of the 4th. Its the home finale at the Duke Softball Stadium and Senior Day. Peyton is pitching a 1-hitter so far... a solo home run.

    Final score 10-2 for a run-rule win after 4-1/2 innings. Duke looked good. They've now won 8 straight after losing 9 of 10 in a 3-week stretch ending in mid April. Their overall record is 35-10, ACC record is 22-10 currently third behind Clemson and FSU. The last 4 games of the regular season are this weekend in a series against unranked NC State who is currently 6th in the ACC.

    In the series opener against NC State, Duke is pounding the Wolfpack 8-0 after 1/2 inning. Four home runs. Enough for a run-rule win, but only after five innings.

    What is the run rule?

    Currently, Duke is up 8-0 with 2 outs. It is the top of the first inning. I'm assuming a certain number of innings have to be played.

    Inning just ended - 8 runs - 4 home runs. Apparently 2 batters didn't get hits during the inning.

    Duke wins 10-0 at end of 5 due to the run rule. I think they just said this was the 10th run rule win of the year for the team.

    That's a winner. 10-0 run-rule win after 5 innings. A combined no-hitter by Walters and Davidson.

    The announcers keep talking about NC State holding players out of the game - seems like mostly seniors - and it seems like there might be a story behind it. Does anyone know what it is?

    Never mind - it is "undisclosed reasons".

    Their three best hitters are out. I thought it might be health protocols.

    Duke is winning 7-0 in the T6. NC State has managed just one hit, in the first inning. The mercy rule seems fitting, but Duke needs one more run.

    First game was fun. Up 4-0 after 5 in 2nd game, Coach Young may have outsmarted herself, taking out a pitcher who had only given up 2 hits for a freshman, who hit two and gave up a hit. Then back to the original starter (this is softball, don't ask), who loaded the bases, gave up two runs, and got pulled again for St. George. Duke needs this game or the next to clinch 3rd seed in the ACCT. They can't get higher.

    Duke sweeps the double-header, 7-0 and 4-2. Almost felt sorry for NC State being depleted of their best players. Game 4 is tomorrow at noon EST, last game of the regular season.

    The tournament will be interesting. Clemson is likely to be the #1 seed, but they are 2-2 against us, 1-2 against Va. Tech, and didn't play FSU in the regular season.

    So, if I counted right, Duke started the regular season 26-1, then went 1-9, and finished 11-0. I'm willing to bet there is no other one-year won/loss record in any sport with two such extreme turnarounds.

    Yes, incredible contrast. The 26-1 stretch included 20 straight. The 1-9 stretch was against the top teams Clemson, FSU and VT.

    Today's (last) game is still in progress. NC State's 3 best hitters (Rizzi, Forbes and Morris) returned today and the Wolfpack took the lead 7-6 in the B5, but Duke stormed back for 4 in the T6 for a 10-7 lead.

    Your numbers are correct, but both involve demarkations in the middle of a series, so I'm not sure about turnarounds as much as it is FSU and Va Tech just being really good.
