Hurricanes escape with narrow 2-1 victory on Saturday, but fall in series finale on Sunday

The Boston College Eagles welcomed the Hurricanes to the Harrington Athletics Village on Friday night and gave them a rude awakening, blowing them out 13-0 in what proved to be an uncharacteristic loss for Miami.

However, the Canes bounced back in Saturday afternoon’s action to even the series with a tightly contested battle that favored UM with a final score of 2-1.

Miami’s win was strongly backed by a strong, steady start from pitcher Alex McFarlane, who did what no other Hurricane was able to do Friday night: keep the Eagles off the scoreboard.

To McFarlane’s credit, he was able to silence Boston College’s offensive outburst by turning in a magnificent five-inning start in which he gave up only three hits and struck out a career-high five hitters.
