Miami loses to Dartmouth in baseball for worst start in Jim Morris era

Getting swept in Gainesville last weekend by second-ranked Florida is one thing.

Losing at home to an Ivy League team that finished 18-25 last season is another.

The hitting-challenged University of Miami lost 1-0 to Dartmouth on Friday in a two-hitter at Mark Light Field for a 3-5 record and its worst start in the Jim Morris era.

The last time UM started as poorly as it has this season was in 1987, when the Canes were 2-7 after nine games.

Jim Morris’ first season at UM was in 1994.

It took exactly two pitches – the first two pitches of the game, actually – to give the Ivy Leaguers a 1-0 lead.
