Miami starting center fielder Jacob Burke stepped into the batter’s box and didn’t hold back against a team the Miami Hurricanes had never faced.
Burke collected eight RBI hits for the most by a Hurricane in five years, leading Miami’s lineup in a 22-0 rout over North Dakota State on a humid, 90-degree night at Mark Light Field Friday.
“Happy to see us come out and swing the bats. Throughout the lineup, we had some big numbers we put up there,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. “Overall, we played a very complete game. Our pitchers, [Carson Palmquist and Jake Garland] threw very, very well.
