DURHAM- No. 15 Duke softball welcomes Louisville for a three-game series at Duke Softball Stadium this weekend. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m. on Friday.
The Blue Devils (18-4, 2-1 ACC) are coming off a thrilling, 5-4, win over Charlotte (10-9) after nine innings on Wednesday. Senior Gisele Tapia pushed the go-ahead run across in the top of the ninth after sending a long ball to the center field wall to score freshman D'Auna Jennings from first base.
Louisville enters the weekend with a 11-6 record after hosting five games in the Cardinal Classic over the weekend. The Cardinals defeated Northern Kentucky and Toledo before dropping to No. 22 Northwestern in the invitational.
