Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
Stone HR makes it 1-0 Duke B1. Rider is losing.
1-1 now. Duke needs to stop running on the bases, with two caught stealings against a wild opposing pitcher
Duke strands a leadoff double from Metz in the fourth after a K , an amazing play in RF stealing a hit; and then another K
Duke strands another runner in the fifth. Oschell in early in the sixth now in this tie game
Duke cannot score. Had 2nd and third no outs last inning and failed to score. Still 1-1 bottom 7 with two outs
Duke leaves the bases loaded in the eighth. Just cannot push one across
Duke in trouble in the ninth. Leadoff hit, bunted over and then gets to third on a wild pitch. Leading run now on third with one out
Rider leads 2-1. Duke 3 outs away from a loss
Duke tries to steal a base with one out and the ump says safe but Rider is challenging. Looks out to me
Umps say the runner is safe and then the pitcher hits Albright. Two on one out for Mooney
Bases loaded one out for Beshears…
Beshears strikes out, and duke is down to Alex stone to save the day
Duke loses. Could not buy a hit with runners in scoring position all night and there were plenty.
Back in action tomorrow
