The Miami Hurricanes are 2-0 when these two things happen: Michael Mediavilla starts, and Michael Burns hits a grand slam.
That’s what you call the Mike & Mike Show.
Yet, it wasn’t Mediavilla’s gutty 118-pitch effort or Burns’ 370-foot slam that proved decisive for Miami on Saturday night.
Instead, it was Burns’ 100-foot walk-off grounder to shortstop in the 10th inning that gave Miami a crucial and dramatic 5-4 win over rival Florida State in front of 4,999 fans at Mark Light Field. It was Miami’s first extra-innings win of the season.
“Couldn’t draw it up any better,” Burns said of his grounder which became the game-winner when FSU shortstop Taylor Walls bounced his throw to first, allowing Brandon Gali to score from second base.
