The University of Miami’s most anticipated Atlantic Coast Conference baseball series of the season ended with a whimper Sunday at a rain-saturated Mark Light Field.
Hurricanes coach Jim Morris and Florida State coach met on the field at about 3:40 p.m., shook hands, and moments later, the game was canceled.
Officials called off the game 1 hour and 45 minutes after the first of several lightning delays that began at 1:55 p.m., just when the rain began to fall in torrents.
After losing the opening game of the series 6-3 Friday night and winning the next one 5-4 Saturday in the 10th inning on a throwing error that scored the deciding run, the Hurricanes (19-20, 10-10 ACC) badly needed a chance to win the series.
