A meaningless game in terms of determining the ACC champion became plenty meaningful for Duke on Thursday.
The fourth-seeded Blue Devils scored four runs in the 13th inning to outlast ninth-seeded Wake Forest, 6-2, in 13 innings in an ACC tournament pool play game at Durham Bulls Athletic Park to collect their 40th win, a new single-season program record.
The game, no matter how it ended, had no impact on Duke’s ACC championship hopes. The Blue Devils (40-14) play No. 5 seed Louisville at 11 a.m. on Friday, with the winner advancing as the Pool D Champion into Saturday’s tournament semifinals.
