Despite giving up two home runs that accounted for the three runs that Columbia scored on the night, Miami hurler Thomas Woodrey was judicious in his start Saturday night against the Lions. His dominance early allowed the Canes hitters to give him a lead that he would not squander. Miami will face the survivor of either FIU or Columbia, who will play on Sunday at 1 pm for the right to face Miami again in what could be the championship game, should the Canes come out on top.
Behind the powerful arm and masterful pitching performance of Thomas Woodrey, and some timely hitting by Zack Collins and Willie Abreu, the Miami Hurricanes defeated the Columbia Lions 8-3 Saturday night to advance to a potential championship game on Sunday.
