No. 13 Duke Powers Past Virginia, 10-2, For Series Sweep
4/10/2022 5:52:00 PM | Softball
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – No. 13 Duke softball (32-5, 14-2 ACC) used a seven-run third inning to pull away from Virginia, in a 10-2 victory in six innings on Sunday afternoon at Palmer Park.
Four different Blue Devils tallied multi-RBI games, with Jameson Kavel leading the way with three. Sophomore Jala Wright (9-1) added another win in the circle, allowing just five hits and one run over four innings of work.
The Cavaliers were the first team on the board in the opening frame, as Katie Goldberg hit an RBI single to give the hosts a 1-0 advantage. However, the Blue Devils were quick to respond as they opened the third inning.
Francesca Frelick opened a big personal day with a double, setting the Blue Devils up for seven runs to come across the plate. After loading the bases on a Kamryn Jackson hit-by-pitch and Kavel walk, Rachel Crabtree drove home two on an RBI single to give Duke the lead.
After Deja Davis scored on an error, Kristina Foreman broke open the game with a two-run single to make it 5-1. Caroline Jacobsen capped off another huge inning with a two-run home run off the left field video board to extend the lead to 7-1.
The two sides turned in a pair of scoreless frames, until the Blue Devils added a cushion in the sixth inning to secure the run-rule win. Frelick recorded her third hit of the day and Jackson added another hit to set up Kavel. The graduate student ripped a 1-1 pitch into center field, making it 10-1 and putting the game out of reach.
While the Cavaliers did get a run back in bottom of the sixth, Claire Davidson finished off the win, going two innings allowing just one hit.
The Blue Devils will continue their Virginia road swing, traveling to James Madison for a doubleheader on Tuesday, Apr. 12 at 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. Both games will be streamed on FloSports.

Notes:
- With her third inning walk, Kavel extended her on-base streak to 21 consecutive games, matching Jacobsen for the longest streak by a Blue Devil this season. The school record is Crabtree with 25, back in 2019.
- Crabtree's RBI single in the third inning also extended her on-base streak to 17 straight games.
- Crabtree and Foreman tallied their 100th career runs scored in the win.
- With her home run in the sixth inning, Kavel tied Foreman for the Duke single season home run record, with her 12th blast of the season.
- Frelick recorded the first three-hit game of her collegiate career, ripping two doubles.
- Ana Gold stole her 10th base in the win. She becomes just the second Blue Devil freshman to steal 10 or more bases their rookie year, joining Kavel.
