The Miami Hurricanes won 4-1 on Friday night on the road against the Duke Blue Devils after Dominic Pitelli hit a grand slam in the top of the eighth inning to give the Hurricanes (19-6, 8-2 ACC) the lead. The win was Miami’s sixth straight and if the Hurricanes win either Saturday or Sunday it will mean that they begin conference play with four consecutive series wins.
Friday’s game was a pitcher’s duel for most of the evening. Hurricanes starter Carson Palmquist gave up just one run, on a Graham Pauley solo home run on his second pitch of the game in the bottom of the first inning.
