Despite having to trudge through five scoreless innings on offense, a home run barrage for the Hurricanes proved to be the deciding factor in Miami’s 6-4 series win over North Carolina State Sunday afternoon.
An offensive outburst in the top half of the sixth inning allowed the Canes to put a crooked five runs on the board over the Wolfpack heading into the late innings. After trailing for much of the game, UM clubbed four home runs between the sixth and seventh innings, three of which came in dramatic back-to-back-to-back fashion.
“It was nice to see us have a big inning because we haven’t had too many big innings and put a bunch of hits together this year and it was really nice to see us hit the ball out of the ballpark,” Miami head Coach Gino DiMare said.
