As has been the case for several seasons, Rutgers began the season with a three game set at former Big East foe Miami. Some sources listed the Hurricanes as ranked highly as #9 in the country, but ESPN had them #24 heading into the weekend. Check out our season preview here.
Friday night: #24 Miami (FL) 7, Rutgers 1
The Hurricanes kicked off legendary coach Jim Morris’s final season at Miami with a win in an odd game that saw all it’s scoring in the first 4 innings. After a Jawuan Harris single in the top of the 5th, there was not another base hit for either club.
