The Miami Hurricanes lost their final midweek game of the season, falling to Florida Gulf Coast 7-3 at Mark Light Field on Tuesday night.
Miami hadn’t lost to its in-state opponent in 10 games.
“We just didn’t do anything to help ourselves win,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. “Overall, just a disappointing night.”
Trouble found starter Jake Garland early. FGCU jumped out to a 1-0 lead when leadoff hitter Brian Ellis hit a home run in the first plate appearance of the game.
Miami responded in its half of the first inning, loading the bases and scoring first baseman CJ Kayfus after shortstop Dominic Pitelli was hit by a pitch.
