That’s a Blue Devil winner! Final score: 8-7.
Headed to T9 up 8-7 so Duke is 3 outs away from taking the series.

Two out three ain't bad, in the words of the poet.
But this is not the look of a team that is going to be playing deep into June.
It's early, very early. But still . . .
I have faith. I seem to remember us starting very ugly before, including last year, and having a season to smile about.
Of course, seeing as how I never seem to remember anything that my girlfriend tells me, (or so she says) I wouldn't put much confidence in what I thought happened.

Sure. And holding on to the win in the rubber game was big.
The narrative going into the season was that it would take Duke some time to get the position players lined up but that the pitching was going to be lights out from the get-go.
Clearly not the case.
And Duke wasn't the only ACC team to lose to a mid-major. Notre Dame lost to Delaware, Pitt lost to Canisius. But most of the ACC took care of business and by take care of business, I mean 3-0.
The competition gets better real, real soon and Duke had best do the same.
Surely, this is obvious, but February weather makes baseball a bit trying as a sport.
Was it Liberty that we lost a series to early on last season?
Losing the opener to VMI was a bummer, but winning the series is much better than losing a series...Ha Ha!
Duke plays App St at 4:00 today. Both teams are 2-1, with App having beaten Campbell in their opening series.

Duke had the bases loaded, batter on looking at a 3-1 count with only one out.
Pitcher fired 2 strikes in a row, then smoked the next batter leaving 3 Dukies stranded on base. Grrrr.
Still 4-1 App.

Thanks Chad Knight! Homer over the Blue Monster with 2 men on, ties it up. Only one out still.

Exciting game.
