Miami entered opening weekend with sky high expectations, and the Hurricanes delivered, capping off a three-game sweep of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights with a 13-6 victory Sunday afternoon at Mark Light Field.
After an hour and a half delay due to rain, sophomore pitcher Slade Cecconi had a no-hitter going through 5 u2153 innings, before he surrendered two hits and one run to the Scarlet Knights in the top of the 6th. Cecconi finished the game with eight strikeouts while giving up two hits and one run.
“It felt great, but everyone played great defense behind me, great pitch calling,” Cecconi said after the game.
