An early two-run deficit and the top-scoring team in the country didn’t prove to be too much for the hottest team in the Atlantic Coast Conference Friday night.
A packed Alex Rodriguez Park of 3,552 people got to enjoy the No. 8 Miami Hurricanes (24-6, 11-2 ACC) win their 11th straight game 6-2 over No. 3 Virginia (26-4, 9-4 ACC) at Mark Light Field.
“It’s a good start to the series,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. “We got some big hits and answered back after they scored. We outhit them and we outpitched them. I’m very happy with the series opening win and we’ll turn the page and get ready to play tomorrow.
