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.
In 2019, Duke started ACC play with a 3-9 record, but turned things around with a mark of 13-2 in the month of April to climb back into the picture for NCAA Tournament consideration.Â
Â
April was highlighted by Duke's first three-game road sweep of Clemson since 1948.Â
Â
The Blue Devils came from behind in the ninth inning on Friday night to win, 9-8, and followed that up with a 5-3 victory on Saturday to claim the series. However, Sunday's series finale was a back-and-forth affair as both teams traded haymakers before the Blue Devils delivered the knockout punch on a
Matt Mervis home run to give Duke a 9-8 lead.Â
Â
Clemson would threaten in the ninth, but a pair of phenomenal catches by
Kyle Gallagher sealed the sweep and put the Blue Devils back in the national picture.
