CORAL GABLES, Fla. –Despite a lightning delay that suspended play for 90 minutes and prematurely ended ace lefthander Andy Suarez’ afternoon, No. 5 national seed Miami moved within one win of the College World Series Friday with a 3-2 victory over VCU at the Coral Gables Super Regional.
The win was Miami’s first in a super regional since June 9, 2008, when the Hurricanes (48-15) topped Arizona 4-2 and last punched tickets to Omaha, Nebraska.
Miami needs just one more win against the Rams to clinch one of eight CWS berths, and will have its first opportunity Saturday at noon in the Coral Gables Super Regional Championship Game at Mark Light Field.
