The two hottest teams in the ACC faced off this evening, and the home team walked off the diamond with a victory. Miami (28-18/13-9) defeated #13 NC State (30-14/15-7) 6-4 in the Sunshine State in the first game of their weekend series. The Hurricanes have now won 9 straight ACC games, snapping the Wolfpack’s 7-game ACC winning streak.
NC State’s Friday starter, Junior Dominic Fritton, gave his team 6.1 innings of work, but it wasn’t his best outing—he allowed 6 earned runs, the most he’s given up all season. Fritton did strike out 8 batters (1 walk), marking his highest strikeout total since March 21st.
