Duke wins game 1 in 10, 5-4. Duke is still playing the 2nd game and is up 12-8 after 6. All Duke runs were scored in a Campbell-esque 3rd inning. Bonus points if you can legitimately put quasi- and -esque in the same word.

'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
I know we like to play teams with similar philosophies, but that's a tough loss. Northwestern was roughly equivalent to Western Carolina (11-47) in last year's RPI.
Duke jumps out to a 5-0 lead over Richmond in the 3rd. Rich. is 6-0 including a 7-1 win over a #17 Georgia Tech.

PSU isn't ranked (Duke is 22-25 depending on the poll), but at 6-0 they sound like a team to be respected.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
Kennie Taylor with a lead off home run to center field. Duke 1, PSU 0. Nice start.
Bob Green
In his second trip to the plate, Kennie Taylor tripled down the RF line driving in two runs. He then scored on a passed ball. Taylor is 2-2 (Home Run/Triple) with 3 RBIs and 2 runs scored.
Duke 4, PSU 0 in the Top of 3rd.

Interestingly, before today, Penn State played all their games in Cary, NC.
