The Hurricane bats were noisy early and often Saturday night as they clinched the weekend’s three-game series a night early, winning their second game over the Duke Blue Devils in as many evenings, 11-5.
No. 19 Miami (15-8, 9-7 ACC) displayed an offensive clinic Saturday night, with 19 hits, all singles and tied for a season-high, and a .442 batting average. They jumped out to an 8-0 lead after the second inning.
“Bottom line is we got a W,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. “[Duke] obviously didn’t play their best game…we’re happy with the win.”
Eight of nine Cane starters had at least one base hit in the matchup, with seven in the group scoring at least one run.
