CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The top-ranked Miami Hurricanes extended the nation’s longest winning streak to 11 straight games Wednesday night, as they topped visiting UCF 8-4 at Mark Light Field.
The Hurricanes (27-4) received another strong outing from sophomore righthander Jesse Lepore to improve their perfect midweek record to 9-0.
Miami’s offense took full advantage of erratic UCF pitching, and held on despite an eighth-inning rally from the visitors that cut into a comfortable late lead.
“I thought we played well as a team,” head coach Jim Morris said.
