Miami wins opening series against Penn State thanks to Kayfus’ walk-off homer

Sunday might have been slow at Mark Light Field, but the grand moment — a walk-off home run by first baseman CJ Kayfus — was more than worth the wait.

“Not quite the way we drew it up,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. “Proud of our guys for fighting back and being able to pull through and get the victory.”

In a 3-2 win over Penn State, Miami was less than comfortable the whole game.

When Kayfus stepped up to the plate in the ninth inning, it seemed nothing was going right for him or the team.
