Alas, Dukes defense is better than our offense. Just enough to be maddening

Nope. The pitching part was better since we gave up too many free passes.

Their defense was not that good, those double plays were just hit
perfectly for them. Nice hops, etc. Just not our day. The third baseman made a nice play to get the runner at second, but other than that there were no spectacular plays. No diving catches etc.

There were a few miscues too.

Correct, why I thought their defense was more lucky than good.

i think Duke had better timely hitting
they booted so ball some balls around mid game

Today we left 10 runners on base and batted .235 with runners on base.
That is the opposite of timely hitting. We lost the 1st inning of both games but won the other 11/12 innings of those games. Walks hurt us in the 1st innings but we didn't make up for those walks with bunches of base hits in the rest of both games. Came close in game 1.

And, we flunked miserably with that. We need to use …… the bunt at times.
