Duke pushed its win streak to six games after completing the series sweep over Cal with a 7-2 victory Sunday afternoon at Shea Stadium in Sacramento, Calif. The Blue Devils (15-9, 3-0 ACC) outscored the Golden Bears (8-17, 0-3 ACC), 22-3, during the three-game set to earn the first series victory as conference foes.
Senior Cassidy Curd led the Blue Devils from inside the circle, tossing back-to-back complete games. She tossed the fourth solo no-hitter in program history during Friday’s series opener, guiding Duke to a 12-0 victory in five innings. The Port St. Lucie, Fla., native worked all seven innings on Saturday, limiting the Golden Bears to one run off three hits. The lefty also collected a game-high seven strikeouts to help Duke secure the 3-1 win.
