The Hurricanes’ trip to the ACC tournament ended in disappointment.
Instead of leaving Charlotte, North Carolina, with the program’s first tournament title since 2008, No. 3 Miami dropped its games against No. 10 NC State 9-6 on Wednesday and No. 6 Wake Forest 16-3 on Friday in a seven-inning, run-rule loss.
“Just a very disappointing way to finish playing in the tournament here,” coach Gino DiMare said.
The longball doomed the Hurricanes in their two games. After surrendering four home runs — three to designated hitter Tommy White — to the Wolfpack, Hurricanes pitchers struggled again against the Demon Deacons, surrendering seven home runs on Friday.
