The University of Miami Hurricanes baseball team has had a strong start to the season and has opened the season with a 7-1 record. The only blemish on their record was a 2-1 loss against the Florida Atlantic Owls on the road.

Their next game will be played at home at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field against the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles. The Eagles are currently 4-3 as they take to the road for the first time this season. This will be another good out-of-conference test for the Miami Hurricanes as they get primed for an exciting but tough season in a stacked Atlantic Coastal Conference in 2025.
