Duke softball thinks that seven innings is way too short for a game, so they played another 10 tonight, won on a great tag beating slide at the plate by Taylor Burgess.

They are in the finals for the third time, opponent will be FSU or GT. :happy-bouncyblue:

Georgia Tech beat us Friday night. Santucci scratched as starting pitcher at last minute. Broadcaster said upper body injury not arm related.

Duke takes game one from the baby blues, 5-3. Really need this series win, and now we only need one game to do it. :happy-bouncyblue:

If they get another lead late in the game today/tomorrow, we're sending you to bed early again, supper/no supper, beer/no beer. :ymhug:

Duke softball won by a lot today, moving on the regional finals with a walk off run rule winner in the 6th. They only need one win to move on to the supers.

Duke baseball decided the opposite of winning by a lot was the path for them.

Baseball has to fix their pitching:

1. We need Santucci healthy.
2. Healy has to pitch five innings per start not two
3. Oschell has to take a long shower because he stinks

Duke is off to Missouri for their third straight supers. First game will be Friday at 2 on ESPN2.

Missouri needed extra innings in an extra game to beat Omaha yesterday.

Mizzou still scares me. On papers we should win. But their offense is better than it looks on first glance, and they have good pitching, which are the kinds of teams that give us troubles. We aren't a very patient team, and we have a lot of power, so when we face good pitching, we tend to help them out by swinging early in the count and not being able to just "hang in" (especially through fouling off tough pitches) on tough at-bats. We can win this series, for sure. But we will have to really know what we're up against and handle it well.
