Live College Baseball Updates: Duke at Miami

Bottom:

Top: Well, at least they didn't give up anything.

7th Inning

Bottom: Miami is lifeless. That sixth inning sent everyone home in the stands and the fans.

Duke 11, Miami 3

Top: I don't even know how to explain what just happened.

After came one of the greatest collapses in program history. The sixth inning started with Carson Fischer on the mound. He came in for Hugus in the third and was playing well, and the defense was something to boast about as well. It got to the point where the Canes had a spectacular double play to get one step closer to get back to the streaking bats. Then coach J.D. Arteaga pulled Fischer after he let on a few runners. Soon after, an all-time collapse left many in Mark Light Park speechless and led to many exiting the stands.

After the Hurricanes burned through three arms, that gave up this: a single, walk, hit batter, hit batter, run scored, grand slam, 4 runs scored, home run, run scored, hit batter. This was to extend the lead to 11-3 and kill this game and likely the season.

6th Inning

Bottom: The Hurricanes had a great chance of getting ahead with two runners on but Derek Williams was a bit shot and with a flyout.

Top: Great defense from Miami with the double play. Getting Rounds out is a great momentum builder for the bats starting to heat up.

That was a nice pick off from Ogden. Let's see how the bats respond.

5th Inning

Duke 5, Miami 3

Bottom: Gonzalez starts it off with the Canes with a double, and a Tanner Smith bunt leads to a base hit, and then an error from the pitcher brings in another run for the Canes.

Duke 5, Miami 2

Top: Griffin Hugus let on a few runners and Arteaga pulled the plug with one out in the Inning. Carson Fischer comes in and gives up a run instantly giving some t edge back to the Blue Devils.

4th Inning

Duke 4, Miami 2

Bottom: Max Galvin with a solo homerun for the first run on the board for the Canes. Daniel Cuvet has started to take what he is given, and his growth as a player is showing for it. They get two runs back, ahead into the fourth inning.

Top: Hugus is dealing now that he has his confidence. The defense is starting to play well, and now it seems the Canes are fully behind Griffin Hugus and hitting has to catch up.

3rd Inning:

Bottom: The Hurricanes finally get someone one base, but it wasn't enough. Proksch is pitching a great game so far for the Blue Devils.

Top: The Hugus that everyone loves is here in the second. Two strikeouts at the top of the lineup. He did give up a hit, but a quick outing going through 4 will work to stop the bleeding.

2nd Inning:

Bottom: Quick 1,2,3 for the Hurricanes. Cuvet got some lift on the ball out to center field but was caught. Hugus is back on the mound

Duke 4, Miami 0

Top: Griffin Hugus starts to game out slow and gives up a run. He gets out of a rough situation with the bases loaded with two outs, but it's another slow start for the Hurricanes' ace. Not the ideal start for the Hurricanes in a must-win game. Quick, four runs given up by Hugus as he already has 30 pitches in the first inning.

1st Inning:

The Miami Hurricanes baseball team is starting to roll after annihilating the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats on Wednesday by a score of 11 - 1in seven innings. That game came on the heels of a big conference series win last weekend over the Pitt Panthers.

This weekend, they have another big ACC series against a very good Duke Blue Devils squad that comes into the weekend with a 23 -12 overall record and an 8 - 7 record in ACC play. The series kicks off on Friday when Miami will look to carry their momentum from the past week and try to knock off the Blue Devils in what could be a huge series win if they can pull it off.

Miami Player to Watch

Fabio Peralta, Miami Hurricanes - The Hurricanes blew out the Wildcats on Wednesday, so there were a ton of great performances. However, it was Peralta's three-run home run in the third inning that broke a 1 - 1 tie and sent Miami on their way to a dominant win. The center fielder was a catalyst to the victory with three RBIs, and he will look to come up with more big hits against Duke this weekend.

Duke Player to Watch

Ben Miller, Duke Blue Devils - Miller's bat has been red-hot all season. He's batting .336 with 15 home runs and 43 RBIs. This season, he leads the team in OPS, hits, HRs, RBIs, and slugging. Miami will have to find a way to cool his bat off in this series.
