Duke has not only kept rival North Carolina from winning the ACC Coastal Division championship this weekend, the Blue Devils have a chance to move into first place on Sunday.
With North Carolina needing to win twice in a three-game series to clinch the division title, the Blue Devils have won the first two games, including Saturday’s 5-2 decision at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
After entering the series in second place behind UNC (33-16, 18-8 in ACC), Duke (38-11, 17-8) will be in first place if it can complete the series sweep Sunday at 1 p.m.
After posting a 7-3 win on Friday night, the Blue Devils rode solid pitching to the win on Saturday.
