PITCHING MATCHUP
Tuesday:
Duke - RHP Cooper Stinson (2-1, 6.92 ERA)
Campbell - LHP Ryan Chasse (1-0, 4.58 ERA)
Â
DOUBLE DOWN
Duke holds 51 doubles this season. Junior Graham Pauley leads the team with 11, ranking tied for fourth in the conference. Junior Chad Knight recorded three doubles against UMass Lowell on March 9 to become the first Blue Devil to hit three in a single game since March 2016.
Â
MARC MADNESS
Junior right-hander Marcus Johnson is beginning to settle into his role as the Friday night arm for the Blue Devils. After a rough opening day, Johnson was stellar on the hill against Bucknell. The Fontana, Calif., native boasted 12 strikeouts in six innings of work to earn the win. The 12 strikeouts were the most since Bryce Jarvis' 15 Ks against Cornell in February of 2020. He holds 57 strikeouts on the year to rank tied for fifth in the ACC.
Â
EYE, EYE CAPTAIN
Graduate student outfielder Chris Davis has been a spark plug for the Duke offense, finding ways to get on base and showing some pop. Davis put together back-to-back games against East Carolina and Bucknell in which he hit home runs on the first pitch of the at-bat. Also, Davis has been extremely effective in getting on base, boasting 20 walks. The outfielder also tallied his 100th career hit against UMass Lowell on March 8.
Â
SEIDL'S STELLAR SEASON START
Junior right-hander Billy Seidl has been electric to open the 2022 season. After coming out of the bullpen throughout his career, the Wellesley, Mass., native has shifted into a starting role. Seidl opened the season without allowing a hit in the first 10.0 innings pitched. In addition, Seidl has tallied 35 strikeouts, and ranks second and third in the ACC in hits allowed per nine innings (5.62) and opponent batting average (.185), respectively.
Â
WELCOME TO K-VILLE
The Blue Devil pitching staff has ascended to new heights over the past five seasons, shattering the school's strikeout record in 2018, 2019 and 2022. Duke continues to be on pace for a record season, as Marcus Johnson leads the team with 57 K's, tied for fifth in the conference. Duke ranks in the top 15 in the country in strikeouts per nine innings this season.

K'S 4 KIDS' CANCER
Duke has partnered with the Duke Children's Hospital for the fourth consecutive season in the K's 4 Kids' Cancer campaign. Donors can pledge an amount of money to donate per strikeout that the Blue Devils pitching staff throws in 2022. The partnership has contributed over $30,000 in support of the Duke Children's Hospital. Over the past four seasons, Duke has totaled 1,900+ strikeouts.
Â
THE WAITING IS OVER
When graduate student Trevor Johnson entered the game against VMI on Feb. 19, it was a long time coming. A transfer from Dartmouth, Johnson missed the 2021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic and saw his 2020 season cut short. He made his first appearance in a collegiate baseball game since Feb. 23, 2020, a full 727 days. Graduate student John Natoli was in a similar boat, seeing his first appearance on the mound against East Carolina since March 8, 2020 - 724 days.Â
