The Blue Devils have now won seven games in a row and will look to keep that streak going with a win on Saturday to earn an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. The team started off tournament play against ninth-seeded Boston College who proved to be a challenge. The team was able to pick up a 2-0 win, but it took 10 innings to do so. Next up was fifth-seeded Clemson in the semifinals and that game also went into the 10th inning before the Blue Devils pulled out a narrow 4-3 victory. Cassidy Curd got the start for Duke and pitched 7.1 innings before Lillie Walker came in for relief, ultimately earning the win with 2.2 innings of throwing in which she struck out three of the nine batters she faced.
Today’s championship game should be an exciting one as the regular season games were closely contested. The Blue Devils earned the series victory, winning the first and third games, but Florida State didn’t go down without a fight.
