Baseball pulled a miracle out of their butts and swept with a walk-off win, Softball did so in a more resounding manner. :)

DUKE SOFTBALL IS THE NUMBER ONE TEAM IN THE COUNTRY!!!!

Texas took the weekend series from #1 Oklahoma, and Duke moves to number one!!
For the first time this season, a team not named Oklahoma sits atop the Top 25 poll. The Duke Blue Devils are the new No. 1 team according to Softball America.

It was on ACCN last night. Our shortstop gacked a 2 out grounder with the bases loaded and Campbell scored 3 unearned runs. X( :9f:

Baseball couldn't sweep. They should have, but fell apart, badly. Softball, however, did their job and took three from Clemson and retains a top three ranking. :happy-bouncyblue:

Duke beat Virginia Tech 9-8 in 11 innings Friday night to improve to 28-10. I turned it off and went to bed at 6-6. Kyle Johnson will be on the mound tonight as Duke looks to win the series. First pitch scheduled for 7 pm.

Duke beats VT 13-10 to take the series 2-1. Big to win the series on the road against a Top 25 opponent.

Softball falls from 3rd to 6th in the polls after the double-header loss on Saturday. Here's hoping they win out to keep a hosting spot.

I read on yet another board formed by a significant number of disgusted emigrants from OY that the win over ECU is Duke's 6th (? 7th) win over a top 10 ranked foe this season. Amazing.
[redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.

Duke won their first game of the ACC softball tournament today. It was not easy, won with a walk-off homer in the 10th, final score 2-0 over BC.

Duke will be playing Clemson tomorrow.
