The Hurricanes defeated Rutgers 3-0 in the season opener last Friday night, and took game two 8-4 on Saturday. Rutgers took advantage of six Miami errors to get a 17-6 win in the series finale Sunday.
Lapore pitched brilliantly in his season debut against the Scarlet Knights. He threw six shutout innings, gave up two hits and no walks while striking out seven.
