Sam Harris' 2-run single in the 8th leads Duke past Oklahoma State 3-2 in the Athens Regional final
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Sam Harris singled up the middle to score runners from first and second in a three-run eighth inning and Duke rallied past Oklahoma State 3-2 on Sunday night to win the Athens Regional. Duke (40-19) is headed to the super regionals for the fourth time in program history. The Blue Devils trailed 2-0 heading into the eighth before AJ Gracia hammered a 422-foot shot over the wall in left-center field for his 14th homer of the season. Reid Easterly (9-2) retired all six batters he faced in the final two innings, including two strikeouts, to pick up the win. Oklahoma State (30-25) started freshman Noah Wech, who struck out five in six innings while only allowing five hits. Ryan Ure (2-5) took the loss. Kollin Ritchie highlighted the fourth inning. First, he homered for the fifth time in the regional to give Oklahoma State a 2-0 lead with a shot off the light pole in right field. Then Ritchie made a leaping grab over the center-field wall to take away a home run by Tyler Albright. ___ AP sports:

Duke beats Oklahoma State 12-5 at the Athens Regional as the teams combine for 7 home runs
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Wallace Clark and Sam Harris each had three hits, Owen Proksch struck out eight in six innings and Duke beat Oklahoma State 12-5 on Friday night at the Athens Regional in a game delayed for over three hours due to weather. Duke (38-19) will play Georgia on Saturday in the winner's bracket. Oklahoma State (28-24) takes on Binghampton in an elimination game. The game featured seven home runs — four by the Cowboys. Ben Miller hit his 19th homer of the year — and Duke's 100th — to begin a six-run third inning. Tyler Albright and Jake Berger also hit homers in the inning for a 9-0 lead. Duke had the bases loaded in the fifth before Jake Hyde tripled to score three for a 12-1 lead. Proksch (3-3) allowed just three hits and two earned runs in six innings — with four strikeouts coming in the first two innings. Reid Easterly struck out the side in the ninth. Oklahoma State had the bases loaded in the third and seventh innings but could not push a run across. Proksch struck out Jayson Jones to end the first threat and Miller secured a slow roller to third and fired to first for a double play. Oklahoma State starter Mario Pesca (7-3) allowed nine earned runs in three innings. Kollin Ritchie, Garrett Shull, Ian Daugherty and Brock Thompson all homered for the Cowboys. ___ AP college sports:
