Duke hires Corey Muscara as baseball coach following Chris Pollard's departure for Virginia
The school announced the move Thursday, a little more than a week after Chris Pollard left following 13 seasons to take over at Virginia. The Blue Devils reached four NCAA super regionals and won two Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament titles under Pollard.
Muscara had spent the past four seasons as an assistant at Wake Forest, which included the Demon Deacons' trip to the College World Series in 2023. He worked with the pitching staff.

Angels turn triple play when Shohei Ohtani lines out to Zach Neto and 2 Dodgers are caught off base
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels turned the eighth triple play in team history Tuesday night, with shortstop Zach Neto getting two putouts and an assist off a line drive by Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani. Miguel Rojas was on second and Dalton Rushing was on first for the Dodgers in the sixth inning when Ohtani hit a drive right up the middle past reliever Brock Burke. Neto caught Ohtani's liner and stepped on second base in stride to get Rojas. Neto quickly threw to first, where Nolan Schanuel tagged out Rushing as the Dodgers rookie attempted to sneak back. Rushing stepped awkwardly on first base and fell hard to the dirt after getting tagged, staying down for a long moment. The Angels' triple play was their first since Aug. 18, 2023. It also preserved a 5-5 tie in the latest edition of the Freeway Series. The Angels have won the first four games this season against the Dodgers.
