No. 8 Hurricanes struggle on the mound, fall to Penn State in opener

CORAL GABLES — The Miami Hurricanes baseball team’s opening night at Mark Light Field quickly turned sour for the nearly 3,500 home fans who turned out for the first game of the season.

Penn State tagged Miami starter Gage Ziehl for four second-inning runs, putting the No. 8 Hurricanes in an early hole that they could not recover from, ultimately losing 9-5.

“Just not an overall good game,” Miami coach Gino DiMare said. “A little humbling, certainly, [I] told the players. But baseball can do that to you. It’s not the way we wanted to come out.
