The Miami Hurricanes baseball team has been absolutely rolling, and scored another victory on Tuesday when they knocked off the Florida Atlantic Owls by a score of 5 - 4. The Canes have now won six of their last eight games, including series victories over ACC foes the Pittsburgh Panthers and the Duke Blue Devils. Their recent hot streak has brought their overall record up to 21 - 17 and their conference record up to 6 - 9.

They now turn their attention to their toughest task, so far this season. This weekend, Miami is set for a three-game series against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The Yellow Jackets head to Miami boasting a 29 - 8 overall record and a 14 - 5 record in conference play. Homefield advantage may not help the Hurricanes in this series, being that Georgia Tech is 10 - 1 on the road this season. If Miami can pull off a series victory this weekend it will be time to start taking them seriously as a contender in the ACC.
