After last Sunday’s loss to Florida, Miami head coach Gino DiMare referred to freshman pitcher Carson Palmquist as a “bright spot” after the lefty threw three shutout innings and struck out five batters in his first outing as a Hurricane.
Wednesday night against USF, Palmquist again threw two scoreless innings while surrendering just one hit.
DiMare had high praise for the 6’3 freshman after the win over USF.
“You can see he is very effective, righties or lefties, he gets a lot of bad swings from guys,” DiMare said.
Palmquist was suspended for the beginning of the season for a violation of team rules and last Sunday’s series finale against Florida was the first time he was available to pitch.
