The FIU Panthers seemed like they might achieve the unfathomable Tuesday night at Mark Light Field against a University of Miami team that nearly didn’t do what it had done the previous 3,248 games.
But in the seventh inning of the first regular-season baseball game between the neighboring schools since 2008, UM’s Carl Chester singled up the middle to break up a no-hitter by right-handed senior Robert Garcia.
The Panthers were more than happy with an absolute beat-down of the forlorn Hurricanes, winning this one with a 12-1 three-hit drubbing on UM’s home turf at Mark Light Field.
