Duke baseball trio turning heads in Cape league July 22nd

Now, however, with the return of last season's leading rusher in sophomore Jay Hollingsworth, fifth year-senior Re'quan Boyette's return from injury and highly touted prospect Desmond Scott's arrival at Duke, a trio of backs could claim the spotlight this season.
