Monte Lee's Tigers came into the weekend reeling, having lost 4 straight, including a 20 inning affair Tuesday night in Athens. With Duke in town for a three game set, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to right the ship and get things back on track, but the Blue Devils were having none of it.
Duke came into the weekend playing good baseball, having won 7 of their last 8. They aren’t going to “out talent” many teams, but their pitchers throw strikes, don’t walk a lot of guys, and they play solid, fundamental baseball. They do not make a lot of mistakes, and over the course of this weekend series, made their opponent pay dearly for its mistakes.
