Before Friday, the last time the University of Miami wore pink for breast cancer awareness the Canes beat Louisville on a walk-off grand slam.
On Friday night, a more conventional victory (though no less nerve-racking) against Georgia Tech was enough to create a celebratory stir at Mark Light Field.
Carl Chester’s four-hit night helped the Hurricanes snap a three-game losing streak to defeat the No. 23 Yellow Jackets 10-8 in their Atlantic Coast Conference season opener.
Miami (5-8, 1-0 ACC) had a season-high 10 hits, including three triples and two doubles. Chester had two of those doubles, 2 RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base.
