Ranked eighth in the country, Miami now welcomes a different challenge.
The Hurricanes are as hot as they have been this season, winners of their last 10 games as they enter Friday.
Yet, the schedule might not get any easier for them as they prepare to face their highest-ranked opponent of the season, when they host the No. 3 Virginia Cavaliers this weekend.
Miami (23-6, 10-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) comes into its next ACC series after cruising to a 17-1 victory against Florida International on Wednesday.
“We put the game away early, I was happy to see some of the guys swing the bat that had been struggling a little bit,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said.
