Duke Set to Host Murray State in Super Regional Showdown
Duke University’s baseball team is primed for its long-awaited opportunity to advance in the NCAA Super Regionals, facing off against Murray State this weekend. Scheduled games include Game 1 at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday (ESPNU), Game 2 at noon ET on Sunday (TBD), and Game 3 on Monday (TBD). Under Coach Chris Pollard, Duke has reached this stage three times previously but has always had to play on the road, resulting in losses against Texas Tech, Vanderbilt, and Virginia. This year, the Blue Devils enjoy a home advantage, thanks to Murray State’s historic performance in the Oxford Regional.
Murray State made headlines by defeating Ole Miss twice at Swayze Field, marking the Racers’ first-ever Super Regional appearance. Their offensive display was nothing short of remarkable, scoring 42 runs across four games in the Regional. They will now face a formidable Duke pitching staff that limited opponents to just 10 runs in three games at the Athens Regional, including only three runs to the heavily favored Georgia offense, the nation’s leader in home runs. The matchup promises to be an exciting battle as both teams seek to make their mark in the postseason.
