DURHAM – Graduate student Erikson Nichols lined a single to left field to score the winning run as the Duke baseball team walked off Virginia Tech, 2-1, on Senior Day to complete the series sweep Sunday afternoon at Jack Coombs Field.
Despite trailing 1-0 since the second inning, Duke scored two in the bottom of the ninth to walk off with the win and series sweep. The Blue Devils (24-20, 13-17 ACC) saw four consecutive batters reach base to begin the ninth inning before Nichols recorded his second hit of the day to score senior Chris Crabtree.
