Entering the 2022 season, Miami Hurricanes head coach Gino DiMare preached that his team’s pitching staff was going to be the anchor of this year’s squad. The Hurricanes starting lineup on opening night had six players who were not with the program last season.
If the first series is any indication for the remainder of the season, DiMare will be able to rely on both hitting and pitching to guide the Canes to Omaha for the first time since 2016.
Miami (4-0) scored eight of its 11 runs in the first three innings and was boosted by outfielder Lorenzo Carrier’s second-inning grand slam on the way to an 11-1 win for a third consecutive double-digit victory of the weekend.
