Miami found a way to win on Friday night despite a slew of injuries over the last two weeks that saw freshman Slade Cecconi get the start for the Hurricanes as they opened their series against the Virginia Tech Hokies. With the win Miami is 29-14 (12-10 ACC) on the season and moved one step closer to the UNC Tar Heels in the Coastal Division race after they lost 12-5 to Virginia in their Friday night game.
This game in Coral Gables was a close one. Virginia Tech took the lead in the top of the second inning, taking advantage of Slade Cecconi’s control issues by scoring their runs on three singles, a walk, and a hit by pitch.
