Nine Run Inning Propels No. 13 Duke Past UNC Greensboro, 11-1
4/6/2022 11:50:00 PM | Softball
GREENSBORO, N.C. – No. 13 Duke softball (29-5, 11-2 ACC) used a nine-run fourth inning to drive past UNC Greensboro, cruising to an 11-1 victory in five innings on Wednesday night at UNCG Softball Stadium.
Â
The Blue Devils poured on nine runs in the fourth inning to power past the Spartans (25-11, 6-0 SoCon). Kamryn Jackson hit a grand slam, while Jala Wright (7-1) held the Spartans in check in the circle, allowing just one hit over four scoreless frames.
Â
After a quiet opening two frames with only one hit between the two teams, the Blue Devils jumped on Spartans starter Morgan Scott in the third. Jameson Kavel stepped up and launched a 2-2 pitch deep over the left field wall, giving the Blue Devils a 1-0 lead.
Â
Rachel Crabtree was first up in the fourth inning and set the sterling frame in motion with a single as part a streak of four straight hits for Duke. Kelly Torres and Kristina Foreman each notched RBI singles, with Caroline Jacobsen adding a walk for a 3-0 lead with the bases loaded.
Â
With the bases full, Jackson would step to the plate, working the count to 3-1. The Tampa, Fla., native picked her pitch and launched a grand slam over the left field wall, extending the lead to 7-0 and effectively putting the game out of reach, chasing Scott from game.
Â
The pitching change wouldn't stop the Blue Devils offense, who got multiple more runners into scoring position. Up for the second time in the inning, Crabtree dumped a single into center field, scoring another runner to make it 8-0. Foreman closed out the inning with a two-run single, capping off the Blue Devils' best inning of the season.
Â
Francesca Frelick added another RBI in the fifth inning, drawing her fourth hit-by-pitch of the season and second with the bases loaded, to extend the lead to 11-0. While the Spartans were able to get a run back, Claire Davidson finished a fifth consecutive run-rule victory after relieving Wright in the circle.
Â
The Blue Devils will return to action on Friday at 6 p.m., traveling to Charlottesville, Va., for a three-game set at Virginia. The entire weekend's games will be streamed on ACC Network Extra.
