QUICK HITS

• The Blue Devils have continued to pounce on opponents like they did throughout the season in 2023. Duke has recorded 246 of its 405 runs so far this season from the fourth to eighth innings. That number accounts for 60.7% of the Blue Devils’ run production this season.
• Tuesday’s victory over No. 6 East Carolina was the first for the Blue Devils in Greenville since 1996. The win was also Duke’s 10th top-25 victory of the season and the seventh top-10 win of the year. Three of those top-10 victories have come on the road this season.
• Sunday’s run production continues to shine for the Blue Devils, as they added 34 more runs in the double header against Longwood. Duke now has produced 12.08 runs per game on Sunday in 2024.
• Zac Morris leads the team with 23 two-out RBI this season, as the Blue Devils have tallied 118 as a collective unit. The 118 runs account for 29.1% of Duke’s scoring this season.
• After breaking the freshman RBI record held by Joey Loperfido, rookie AJ Gracia sets his sites on another huge milestone this season. Gracia tied the freshman home run record held by Andrew Fischer with his 11th home run of the season to open the scoring against Longwood in game one. The rookie has a minimum 11 games left to etch his name in history, as the Blue Devils clinched a spot in the ACC Tournament and are in good position for the NCAA Tournament.
