The Miami Hurricanes have strung together back-to-back wins for the first time since their opening series, defeating Maine on Tuesday 4-3.
But it didn’t happen without a lot of sweating.
Up 4-3, the Hurricanes put in freshman reliever Albert Maury to replace fellow right-handed freshman starter Evan McKendry to start the eighth, but Maury gave up consecutive singles. In came right-handed sophomore Andrew Cabezas, who gave up a bunt single to Hernen Sardinas to load the bases.
Cabezas then struck out Brandon Vicens. On the next pitch, Jeremy Pena squared to bunt and the runner on third, Christopher Bec, was caught charging home for the second out.
