Graduate Zac Morris leads the team with 27 two-out RBI this season, as the Blue Devils have tallied 135 as a collective unit. The 135 runs account for 30.1% of Duke's scoring this season.
Senior Alex Stone continues to produce over the second half of the season, earning the nod as a key "second half player" throughout his career. Stone has produced a .389 average at the plate (44-for-113) collecting 14 doubles, five home runs, 37 RBI, six walks and eight hit by pitches. He holds a .646 slugging percentage and holds an on base percentage of .450 since flipping to the second half of the year.
Seven Blue Devils earned All-ACC status on Monday afternoon, as Charlie Beilenson, Ben Miller, Zac Morris and Jonathan Santucci were all tabbed to the first team. Senior Alex Stone was tabbed to the second team, while AJ Gracia and Kyle Johnson were tabbed to the freshman team. Gracia was also honored on the third team this season, as a freshman.
