Re: ground out, PITT WINS 8-5, sweeps Dukies!!!!! ****
Just over 4 hours I think.
I had to leave, unfortunately. But this was a strange game. Pitchers threw a ton of pitches. A lot of hits but not many extra base hits. Lots of time wasting (Duke's coach came out to talk to the homeplate ump no less than 3 times).
Wotherspoon didn't look good. Threw a bunch of pitches. Looks like he's struggling this year.
Pitt's bench is always loud and rowdy, but this may be the loudest I've ever heard them. They were really getting into it in the 5th when Pitt scored 5 runs. Duke's bench tried to respond in kind during the 6th but they really couldn't match it.
Another quirk: both teams wore blue jerseys.
