Duke announced its full regular season schedule on Tuesday, a 55-game slate highlighted by an ACC series at home against Georgia Tech and away versus Miami, North Carolina, Clemson, Virginia and Florida State. Along with Georgia Tech, Duke will play Boston College, N.C. State, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest in home sets.
The Blue Devils will face six teams that finished last season ranked in the Baseball America top-25, and eight that participated in the NCAA Tournament. Two of those teams—Florida State and Clemson—played in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., with the Tigers coming just one game away from the championship series.
The nonconference schedule is highlighted by a trip to 2010 Southern Conference champion The Citadel. The Blue Devils will also play three-game series against Richmond, Villanova and La Salle before ACC play begins.
The team will play single games against N.C. Central, High Point, William and Mary, Campbell, UNC-Greensboro and Davidson.
In sharp contrast to last season, in which Duke played all but one of its home games at either the Durham Bulls Athletic Park or the USA Baseball Complex in Cary, the team will play 13 games at the recently-renovated Jack Coombs Field. The rest of the Blue Devils’ home slate will be played at the DBAP.
