The Miami Hurricanes won their second mid-week game of the season 12-5 against FIU on Tuesday night to move to 9-3 on the season. A nine-run inning was the key to the Miami victory, and the offensive momentum built Tuesday sets the Hurricanes up well as they open up ACC play over the weekend against Boston College.
Despite Miami’s eventual victory, FIU opened the game with a two-run bottom of the first to take an early lead. A double and a walk gave the Panthers two runners on against Miami starter Alex McFarlane. FIU then scored their first run of the game on an RBI-double before a sac-fly scored the second run of the inning.
