Sophomore Matt Berezo underwent surgery earlier this week to repair a broken tibia and will miss the rest of the season, the team announced today.
The infielder has started 20 of Duke's 30 games this season, hitting .281 with an on-base percentage of .360 and a slugging percentage of .382.
"We are very disappointed to lose Matt to a season-ending injury," head coach Sean McNally said in the press release. "He is a key part of our club and will be difficult to replace. Matt has an unmatched work ethic and I know he will focus his energy on the rehab process. We look forward to having him back at full speed next season."
The infielder sustained the injury during batting practice before a matchup with No. 21 Georgia Tech last Friday.
