Baseball commentary: Series loss to Virginia Tech is a humbling setback

The Miami Hurricanes were the darlings of the college baseball world after upsetting the preseason consensus No. 1 Florida Gators on opening weekend.

Instead of building on a successful start to 2021, the Canes crashed back to earth, losing two of three to Virginia Tech this past weekend. The No. 6 Canes had won 11 straight meetings against the Hokies coming into the series.

Virginia Tech was pegged to finish sixth in the Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division heading into the season. UM (3-3, 1-2 ACC) now stares down five consecutive weekend series against teams in the D1 Baseball top 25.
