The Miami Hurricanes’ 12-11 series-opening loss to Boston College on Friday night was not followed by further struggles for better starts.
Preventing the Eagles’ from pounding starting pitching became Miami’s focus for the remainder of the series, which the Canes now lead 27-11 all-time and 19-3 in Coral Gables.
Miami rebounded in the second game of its first Atlantic Coast Conference series, winning 11-3 at Mark Light Field Saturday.
In his third start, freshman right-hander Karson Ligon pitched six complete innings and finished with seven strikeouts while only allowing a single run.
“We played a much more complete game,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said.
