The momentum of the Miami Hurricanes’ opening-weekend series win at rival Florida did not carry over to its first ACC series of the baseball season.
Miami dropped the rubber match of the three-game set against Virginia Tech, 9-6, on Sunday afternoon at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field.
The Hurricanes (3-3) will fall in the rankings after leaping into the top five of four different polls and as high as No. 1, according to Collegiate Baseball, following last weekend’s series win at previously top-ranked Florida. The Hokies (5-1) win a series over UM for the first time since 2012.
