HISTORY AT THE ACC CHAMPIONSHIP
Duke will compete in the ACC Championship Semifinals for the second time in program history and the second time in the last four events. The Blue Devils advanced from the group stage after sweeping their pool against Miami and Florida State. Should Duke win on Saturday, the Blue Devils would advance to the ACC Baseball Championship title game for the first time in program history. Duke and Virginia meet in the ACC Championship for the first time since in pool play in 2017. Duke leads the series in the ACC Championship games, 6-2. In the overall series, Duke head coach Chris Pollard holds a 9-15 record against Virginia while at Duke.
HSTORIC OPENING TO THE ACC BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Duke made program history in the 2021 ACC Baseball Championship as the Blue Devils advanced out of pool play for the second time since 2003. Duke also advanced in 2017 when the Championship was in Louisville. This year, Duke topped Florida State and Miami in pool play, recording its first wins over each opponent at the ACC Championship in program history. Duke's 12-1 win over Florida State was the first time the Blue Devils have ever beaten a Seminole team by 10+ runs.

DUKE BOASTS PAIR OF ALL-ACC NODS
Senior Joey Loperfido and junior RJ Schreck earned All-ACC honors, the conference announced following the regular season. Loperfido earned Second Team All-ACC honors after leading the team and ranking in the top 10 in the conference in batting average (.360), on-base percentage (.469), runs (48), doubles (14), and stolen bases (11). Schreck was a Third Team All-ACC selection after hitting a slash line of .350/.453/.644, all career highs. His slugging percentage leads the team and ranks in the top 10 in program history for a single season. Schreck also boasts 15 home runs and 46 RBIs, both ranking in the top 10 in the conference this season.
FINISHING THE SEASON STRONG
The Blue Devils have been red-hot in its last 10 games, currently on the fourth-longest winning streak in the country. After sweeping Virginia Tech and Clemson in the final two series of the season, Duke swept Pool D at the 2021 ACC Baseball Championship to capture its 10th straight win. During that span, Duke is hitting .320 while holding its opponents to .229. In addition, Duke has outscored its opponents, 82-30, and its pitching staff boasts a 2.76 ERA with 97 strikeouts in 88 innings of work.
