The lone Duke starting pitcher who performed well last weekend gets the start on Saturday as the Blue Devils look to continue their run of NCAA tournament upsets.
Duke won the Athens regional, beating No. 8 national seed Georgia twice last Monday, despite its starters pitching to an alarming 11.25 ERA for the regional’s five games.
Mitch Stallings was the only Duke starting pitcher to last past the third inning. His performance in the deciding game against Georgia, allowing three earned runs over seven innings, helped Duke to an 8-4 win that sent the Blue Devils into this weekend’s Lubbock super regional against Texas Tech.
