For the fourth time in program history, the Duke Blue Devils are heading to the Super Regionals of the NCAA Baseball Tournament.
After sweeping their way through the Regional round, defeating the Oklahoma State Cowboys twice and the host team, the Georgia Bulldogs, once. With the regional victory, the Blue Devils advanced to the Supers, where they will host Murray State.
Duke head coach Chris Pollard has led the Blue Devils to all four of their Super Regional appearances, the previous trips to the second round of the NCAA Tournament happening in 2018, 2019, and 2023.
Murray State is coming off a world-class upset, eliminating the No. 15 Ole Miss Rebels and the No. 18 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Now, the Blue Devils have to work to avoid the same fate.
