The Miami Hurricanes yet again backed up their top-10 national ranking against in-state rival Florida International, cruising to a 17-1 victory Wednesday night.
Sophomore captain Jake Garland pitched a career-most eight innings, allowing only one run and improving to 5-1 on the year.
Miami head coach Gino DiMare was happy with Garland’s performance, noting his efficiency. The right-hander recorded six strikeouts in his seventh start of the season.
“Jake, we wanted to get a game out of him. He did just what the doctor ordered, he threw eight innings, a ton of ground balls which is what he always does, he was very efficient,” DiMare said.
