No. 12 Duke Tallies 34 Runs in Doubleheader Sweep of James Madison
4/12/2022 9:02:00 PM | Softball
HARRISONBURG, Va. – No. 12 Duke softball (34-5, 14-2 ACC) made history on Tuesday, setting several program records en route to a doubleheader sweep of James Madison at Veterans Memorial Park.
Duke recorded a program record of 24 runs in a 24-2 five-inning win over the Dukes (16-20, 5-4 CAA) in game one and took game two in six innings by a final score of 10-1.
Game One – Duke Wins, 24-2 (F/5)
The Blue Devils opened a historic day immediately in the opening inning getting two runners on for Kristina Foreman. Foreman ripped an RBI single to left field to score two and take a 2-0 lead. Caroline Jacobsen quickly added on to the lead, launching a two-run home run to center field for a 4-0 lead.
Despite giving up a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning, the Blue Devils turned in an inning to remember in the second. Duke scored seven runs before the Dukes could record an out and 10 runs total in the frame.
Jameson Kavel started the inning off with a bang, launching a two-run home run following a Kamryn Jackson single. The next two batters nearly mirrored the first, with Deja Davis reaching on a hit-by-pitch before Rachel Crabtree launched another two-run blast to center field for an 8-1 lead.
The runs continued to pour in, as Jacobsen and Claire Davidson each picked up RBI singles for a 10-1 advantage. Jackson went on to add another RBI and Kavel ended the inning the way it began, ripping her second home run of the day, and the inning, to center field for a 14-1 lead.
In the third inning, the Blue Devils extended the lead even further, as Jacobsen doubled down the left field line to open the inning. That would set up Davidson, who took an 0-1 pitch to deep center field for a two-run blast and 16-1 lead.
With the lead strongly in hand, the Blue Devils added on several more long balls in the fifth inning. Davidson recorded her first multi-home run game of her career, launching a solo home run for a 17-1 lead. Kavel followed her up just two at-bats later with her record-breaking third home run to center field.
The game ended on another high note, as Julia Boyet and Leah Jarnac went back-to-back for their first collegiate home runs to add three more runs to the Blue Devil tally. Taylor Krapf put a bow on the contest with a three-run blast to left center field to reach 24 runs.
Game Two – Duke Wins 10-1 (F/6)
Game two started out much like the opener, as the Blue Devils notched six quick runs in the opening frame. Gisele Tapia singled and Crabtree walked to set up Foreman, who blasted her 11th home run of the year to left field for a 3-0 lead. Walks continued to bite the Dukes, as Kelly Torres and Jacobsen drew walks and Davidson drove them in on her third home run of the day to make it 6-0.
In the second inning, Kavel led it off with a walk and would advance to second. That gave Foreman another RBI opportunity and she made the most of it, hitting a single to left center field to score Kavel and extend the lead to 7-0.
While the two sides reached a stalemate in the next few innings, starting pitcher Peyton St. George continued to roll, allowing just one earned run on a solo home run over six innings, striking out 10.
Needing two runs to secure another run-rule win, the Blue Devils tallied three more in the sixth inning. After a Kyla Morris bunt single, Jackson continued her torrid pace with another home run, this time to the opposite field to drive in two more. Foreman tallied her fifth RBI of the day with a single to make it 10-1 and put the contest out of reach.
The Blue Devils will return home, before returning to Virginia for another road game at Liberty. The game will get started on Wednesday, Apr. 20 at 5 p.m., and be streamed on ESPN Plus.
