The Miami Hurricanes moved to 2-0 on the season with a win over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights Saturday. Miami will look to finish off the sweep of the Knights at 1:00 PM Sunday, with Evan Mckendry (4-2, 4.10 ERA) on the mound for the ‘Canes.
The top of the first started poorly for Greg Veliz and the Hurricanes. Veliz allowed the first three batters to reach base, and found himself trying to limit the damage in a bases loaded jam. Veliz then walked Chris Folinusz, and Rutgers took an early 1-0 lead. Veliz managed to recover a bit in the next at-bat, as he struck out Carmen Sclafani and put Miami a double-play away from getting out of the inning.
