Duke pitching as a staff has an ERA of 2.36. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/teams/stats.asp?Y=2015&T=20118&Page=

Strength on strength since our bats have been hot.

Not much pop in their lineup though - 1 HR on the season and slugging .346 (both last in the ACC).

I'd be surprised and disappointed if we didn't win at least two this weekend. Duke's got an impressive record but they haven't played anybody.

Thanks for the heads up on today's game time. Loving the espn3 broadcasts. Planning on going Sunday since I believe this is the lone trip to NC, aside from the tourney.

Except for taking 2 of 3 from Cal on the road earlier this year....

VT stole a W from UVA today 2-1. Got the winning run in the bottom of the 9th without a hit (BB, error, sac bunt, IBB, BB). Helps us in the Coastal standings.

Just turned on the game in the sixth. Good karma.

1-2. Sounds like there are a few GT fans there and no Fluke fans.

Now 2-2 on wild pitch.

Kel SO and could have walked. Oh well.

2-1

You mean a Cal team that nobody has projected to even make a regional?

 

[Eric]

Kel up with a runner on third.

Wild pitch.

2-2.

 

[Eric]

Tech up 3-2!

 

[Eric]

4-2!

 

[GTNavyNuke]

Not bad, GT scores twice on one (ONE) hit, 2 errors and 3 stolen bases. If we win this game, these two runs given to us by Fluke should show them they are Fluke.

Small ball works (at times)

 

[AE 87]

5-2, middle of 8

 

[AE 87]

5-2 middle of 9. BB, sgl start bot of 9

 

[Squints]

I'll never understand why managers put out relievers to start innings with a one base runner leash. Why not just let a the fresh pitcher start the inning clean?

 

[AE 87]

We win
