Duke baseball sets program’s single-season home run record after ACC Tournament performance

Lost in the shuffle of Duke’s 16-4 victory over Florida State during Sunday’s ACC title game, the Blue Devils reached 112 home runs for the year.

Duke baseball didn’t just win its second ACC Tournament on Sunday with a 16-4 victory over Florida State, but the Blue Devils set a program record on the way.

Duke hit three home runs during Sunday’s title game, giving them 112 homers for the season. The figure broke a single-season record of 109 home runs set just one season ago.

The Blue Devils broke the record in spectacular fashion, too, when third baseman Ben Miller smashed a grand slam during Sunday’s fourth inning.

Second baseman Zac Morris, who hit three home runs during Duke’s two games in pool play to begin the tournament, leads the Blue Devils with 18 on the season. Logan Bravo sits second on the team with 17, and Miller and centerfielder Devin Obee both finished the ACC Tournament with 15 for the season.

Obee, the ACC Tournament MVP, hit a home run in each of Duke’s last three games of the conference tournament. His slugging weekend crescendoed with a grand slam against the Seminoles on Sunday, giving the Blue Devils a 10-run lead.

Catcher Alex Stone and freshman AJ Gracia, the final two Duke players in double-digits, have 13 home runs for the season. Stone, who also hit two home runs during the ACC Tournament, joined Obee on the All-Tournament Team.
