Jeremy Gould doubled in Tim Sherlock in the bottom of the 10th as Duke (20-5) rallied for a 7-6 win over Brown (5-7) Tuesday at Jack Coombs Field.
Trailing 6-5 in the bottom of the ninth, Gabriel Saade walked, stole second and scored on Ryan McCurdy's two-out, RBI single through the left side to tie the score and force extra innings. Saade, a sophomore second baseman, also homered in the third inning, his fourth longball of the year and second in two games.
Freshman reliever Dennis O'Grady blanked the Bears over four innings to pick up his fourth win of the season, tied for the team's lead with freshman starter Grant Monroe.
Sherlock laced a one-out single in the final frame. After sophomore Alex Hassan, who continued a torrid season at the plate with three more hits, flied out to center field, catcher Matt Williams singled up the middle to move Sherlock to third.
On a 1-0 count, Gould smacked a walk-off double down the left-field line to propel the home squad.
Duke is now 16-0 against non-conference opponents and looks to continue that streak tonight when it plays crosstown rival N.C. Central at Durham Bulls Athletic Park at 7 p.m.
