Duke baseball coach Chris Pollard and returning starters Joey Loperfido (center field) and Mike Rothenberg (catcher) met virtually with the media Friday. The occasion was the first day of fall practice.
So, the practice was rained out.
That’s so 2020.
You probably recall that Duke baseball had reached elite status when COVID-19 shut down the season in mid-March. The Blue Devils were 12-4 and ranked in all the national polls. An NCAA-hosting role seemed likely, a trip to Omaha for the College World Series a realistic possibility.
Then the season ended and the team scattered to the winds.
