Live ACC Tournament Updates: California at Miami
Final: Cal 12, Miami 2 | 8-inn
Cal 10, Miami 2
Bottom: Tanner Smith extends the invitable with a two run bomb that gives the Hurricanes some juice.
Cal 10, Miami 0
Top: Walters comes in and he gives up the game winning run for the Hurricanes as they have 10 runs and the run rule is in effect for the ACC Tournament.
7th Inning
Bottom: The Hurricanes streak of bad offense with bad pitching continues as De la Torre continues to torment the Hurricanes lineup.
Top: Rob Evans comes in and delays the inevitable for the Hurricanes, giving a great inning for the Canes.
6th Inning
Bottom: The Hurricanes are looking to do anything offensively and still struggle.
Top: A better outing ot the pitching staff of the Hurricanes but that does not change what happened last inning.
5th Inning
Bottom: Cuvet tries to get something going with a standout double, but there is no juice in this Hurricanes' offense.
Cal 9, Miami 0
Top: After giving up two free bases, Hugus is pulled, and Carson Fischer enters for relief. He also gets pulled, and now the Hurricanes go to another arm. This has been an embarrassing inning for the Canes. With the offense not going as well, it doesn't help.
4th Inning
Bottom: De la Torre isn't allowing the Hurricanes to do anything on base. He continues his hot streak as he finds ways to get the Hurricanes to swing or fly out.
Top: Hugus gets the batter to chase and gets out with two on base. His issue all season was he gets the first two outs but getting the last one is what hurts the Canes the most.
3rd Inning
Bottom: De la Torre continues to deal against the Hurricanes. Marsh gets on base, but that is the only offense to come from the Canes so far. Cal is playing out of their minds right now.
Cal 2, Miami 0
Top: Hugus sends a breaking ball that gets launched out of the park to get the first runs on the board. He gives up one bad inning a game, but will likely put up more zeros the rest of the way.
2nd Inning
Bottom: de la Torre with 10 pitches and two strikeouts. He is throwing with some fire right now, but the Hurricanes can catch his high fastball.
Top: A questionable box from the Ump for Hugus, but he only allows one hit in the inning. He looks sharp and is placing some amazing balls in the zone.

The Miami Hurricanes baseball team ended their regular season with a whimper on Saturday against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. After months of incredible baseball and consistent winning, they stumbled down the stretch, losing five of their final six games. However, the team will have to pull themselves together and refocus as they prepare for the ACC Tournament, which kicks off on Tuesday.
The No. 9 seed Hurricanes will open up against No. 16 seed Cal Golden Bears in a win or go home first round matchup. Cal did not have a great season, finishing just 22 - 30 overall and 9 - 21 in conference play. This is a game that Miami should be the favorites to win, but they will have to bounce back and play better ball than they have been as of late. The winner will advance to Round 2 on Wednesday, May 21.

Miami Player To Watch
Daniel Cuvet, Miami Hurricanes - Cuvet has been far and away the Canes' top player this season. His 76 RBIs are 30 more than anyone else on the team, and his 16 home runs at least double every other teammate's total for the season. His .374 batting average is also a team best. He has been hitting for power and contact, and dominated against ACC pitching. How far Miami goes in this tournament will have a lot to do with how he plays when the lights shine their brightest.
