The Miami Hurricanes opened the NCAA Tournament with a 1-0 win over South Alabama on Friday night. The win put Miami in the winner’s bracket of the Gainesville Regional. Miami will play South Florida Saturday afternoon after the Bulls defeated top-seed Florida on Friday afternoon.
Hurricanes starter Alejandro Rosario was spectacular in his first start in the NCAA Tournament on Friday. The freshman worked 6.1 scoreless innings and looked comfortable for the whole game. The right-hander allowed just four hits and two walks while striking out five in what may have been his best performance in orange and green.
