Ben Miller grand slam pushes Duke ahead of FSU, 9-2, in ACC Championship game

Duke Blue Devils third baseman Ben Miller opened up the ACC Championship Game against Florida State with a grand slam in the fourth inning.

At the time, the Blue Devils had already built a 5-2 lead in the game, getting to the Seminoles bullpen in the process. That continued into the fourth inning when Duke put two men on base before another pitching change. That switch didn’t work out well, with new pitcher Yoel Tejada Jr. loading the bases only to let up to grand slam. That made it a 9-2 game.

There must be some power in Ben Miller’s mustache because he sent the ball into orbit. With that, the game was completely turned on its head and now the Blue Devils are in a position to play with a large lead and try and hold off a potential Florida State comeback.

This season, Ben Miller is hitting .371 with a .452 OBP. He’s also slugging .652 for the season. He’s done that in 51 games, all of which he started, helping him to accumulate 13 home runs, 18 doubles, a triple, and 43 RBIs on the year.

A graduate student who transferred to Duke from Penn, Miller was an All-ACC First Team Third Baseman selection and a Dick Howser Trophy Semifinalist.

It was the second home run for Ben Miller this season.

There is still plenty of time for things to change. However, for now, it looks like the Blue Devils are in a good position moving forward to win the ACC Tournament Championship.
