Duke Softball 2025

[loran16]

Duke playing infield in to prevent any run which seems risky. Raine suggesting playing back and conceding a run which I think is smarter ….

But Cass says who cares and gets a k and a pop out to end the threat

 

[ecs15]

whew way to work out of that jam

 

[loran16]

Duke hasn’t had a base runner since the first but is hitting the ball hard…right at fielders alas

Edit: 2-0 duke after 4.

 

[loran16]

Curd gives up a leadoff walk in the fifth after the ump rules no swing on the prior pitch. Bad luck

 

[loran16]

A big double play! Ball lined to baker and then we double off the runner on second.

6 outs to go

 

[DoubleBlue]

Need insurance runs.

 

[loran16]

Duke finally gets another base runner on a chop slap infield hit by Terrell. Let’s see if we can small ball her in

 

[loran16]

Duke cannot get anything good going offensively with the base runner. 2-0 duke end 5.

We will have top of the lineup (with Shuler) up next inning so maybe that’ll add some insurance: but first more Cass

 

[loran16]

Cass gets the first out but then gives up a four pitch walk Blech.

 

[loran16]

First and third two outs for Georgia. Just barely grounded that one through.

 

[loran16]

Georgia scores on a bloop single. 2-1 duke now, still two outs, now first and second

 

[loran16]

Phew. Collision in the outfield but we hold on.

2-1 duke mid 6. Duke needs three outs once more

Phew. Collision in the outfield but we hold on.

2-1 duke mid 6. Duke needs three outs once more

That was too close to a disaster.

 

[loran16]

Hailey Shuler with a big line drive single to start the sixth. For someone who basically hasn’t hit at all this year this is impressive

 

[CameronBornAndBred]

Top of the 7th, Duke leads 2-1. Feels like Georgia has the momentum at the wrong time.

 

[ehdg]

Please remind me is only 7 innings they play?

 

[loran16]

Oh boy a pinch hitter who hasn’t hit for power all year hits a double to start the 7th for Georgia. Uh oh

 

[loran16]

And then a screwup leads to a bunt single. Tying run now on third with no outs.

 

[ecs15]

here comes the top of their line up too lol

 

[loran16]

K for Cass. 1 down.
