CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- Sam Abrams pitched a career-best four shutout innings of relief, Miami blew a close game open with five runs in the seventh and the Hurricanes beat Virginia Commonwealth 10-3 on Saturday to earn their first trip to the College World Series since 2008.
Willie Abreu homered and drove in two runs and David Thompson added two RBIs for the Hurricanes (49-15), who swept the super regional 2-0. All nine Miami starters in the order scored, and seven had an RBI.
Abrams (2-0) came in with nobody out and the bases loaded in the third, escaping unscathed.
