Duke baseball play-by-play announcer Chris Edwards is giving fans an inside look at some of his memorable baseball moments throughout his eight years as the Voice of the Blue Devils. The events highlighted during this series are not meant to be a complete listing of all memorable accomplishments, but a sampling of great moments in Edwards' words.
Â
The 2014 campaign marked the second season of the
Chris Pollard Era in Durham as Duke secured five ACC series victories including a sweep of North Carolina in addition to a series win over N. C. State.
Duke finished the season with 16 ACC wins (33 overall) and the Blue Devils qualified for the conference tournament for the first time since 2009.
During their tournament run in Greensboro, Duke advanced to what amount to a quarterfinal game against a top-25 Miami club. The Blue Devils came up short that day but announced to the rest of the league that, under the direction of Pollard, Duke Baseball was here to stay thanks to this pinch-hit home run by Miami native
Cris Perez.
