That is a game they should win if they want to reverse what happened last season. They are going to face much better pitching staffs going forward. Getting 3 hits is not going to beat any team left on their schedule. But you are correct, they didn’t deserve to win this game.
Might a Duke or a DBAP thing. Pretty much every other ACC school has a proper multi-camera broadcast with scoreboard and replays, etc. Would have loved to see the replay on that possible double play in extras yesterdaySuch a flat, poor quality broadcast just isn't on par with the caliber of Duke and the ACC.
Tallon and Weaver both look sharp. Talented freshmen that will be fun to watch for awhile. Oschell also impressed. Definitely looking forward to watching the staff develop this season!
Wish I lived in Durham for a day tomorrow.
The weather is going to be late spring gorgeous, and the Duke - Liberty game at the DBAP is free to attend.
Us couch umps can watch on ACCNX.

No score after 1.5. Jason White on the mound for Duke in a bullpen day. Liberty is 0-3 for the year.

I have complained before about the Duke broadcast on ESPN+ to the email address above. Maybe if enough people complain they will listen.
If you switch to today’s games of NC State vs Coastal Carolina and UNC vs Longwood you will see a huge difference in the production quality. I agree that a program the caliber of Duke should have much better productions than we see. This production looks like a high school team.
As I have been typing this Liberty has scored 2 runs and are now up 2-1 with 2 outs in the top of the third.
Liberty scores 5 runs with 2 outs including a run scoring error on Beshears and a 3 run homer off Aaron Beasley. Now 5-1 Liberty
We are getting curb stomped 6-0.

Beshears (partially) makes up for his error leading to the 5-run 3rd inning for Liberty with a 2-RBI double in the B5, now 7-4 Liberty.
Wild pitch scores another Liberty run. 8-4..

Duke cuts it to 8-6 in the 8th but used the top half of the order to get there.
A controversial finish with Duke's Albright called for baserunner interference to end the game. Coach Pollard was mighty mad and had to be restrained, but the game ended with no further actions.

I think it's the direct connection to Chris Edwards. He uses it for filler during the games. Hating on the TV broadcast probably isn't helpful. He can't do anything about it.
I think Pollard read the Duke-UVA postgame thread and took the opposite approach as he's inclined to do. Neither one worked out for Duke.
