Late Rally Pushes Liberty Past Duke, 10-6
DURHAM, N.C. – A four-run seventh inning and five more in the ninth propelled the Liberty Flames past the Duke Blue Devils, 10-6, Wednesday at the Duke Softball Stadium.
The Blue Devils (14-19) held a 5-1 lead heading into the top of the seventh before the Flames (20-13) rallied back with four runs on five hits to tie the ballgame. After a quiet eighth inning, Liberty would tack on five more runs in the ninth behind three hits and a Duke error to jump ahead 10-5. The Blue Devils would pull one back in the bottom of the ninth thanks to an RBI single from Rachel Abboud, but would come no closer.
