Booth Review: Triumph in the Athens Regional
5/14/2020 12:40:00 PM | Baseball
Duke baseball play-by-play announcer Chris Edwards is giving fans an inside look at some of his memorable baseball moments throughout his eight years as the Voice of the Blue Devils. The events highlighted during this series are not meant to be a complete listing of all memorable accomplishments, but a sampling of great moments in Edwards' words.
After the heroics of Chris Crabtree helped to propel Duke into the 2018 Athens Regional Championship game, the Blue Devils still had work to do to advance to its first Super Regional.Â
Â
However, capturing the Athens Regional title was not going to be easy as Duke would have to defeat No. 8 Georgia twice in the same day to move on.Â
Â
The Blue Devils claimed the opening game, 8-5, to force a winner-take-all contest later that afternoon.Â
Â
Duke fell behind, 2-0, early in the final game but senior left-hander Mitch Stallings kept Duke close with seven brilliant innings on the mound. At the plate, home runs courtesy of Zack Kone, Griffin Conine (2) and Jimmy Herron paved the way for the Blue Devils to upend Georgia for a second time as Duke out-slugged the Bulldogs for an 8-4 win to advance to the program's first Super Regional.Â
