Miami Player to Watch

Daniel Cuvet, Miami Hurricanes - In a game that didn't have a whole lot of positives in it for the Hurricanes, Cuvet did have one of the team's five hits and drove in one of their two RBIs. The corner infielder is off to a strong start to the season and will look to build on his performance on Friday.

Duke Player to Watch

Jake Hyde, Duke Blue Devils - Hyde destroyed the Hurricanes' pitching in Friday's blowout victory. He went two for four with two walks, two runs scored, and drove in a ridiculous six RBIs with four of those RBIs coming on a grand slam in the Blue Devils six-run sixth inning. If Miami is going to have any chance at knocking off Duke in the next two games, they can not let Hyde have another performance at the plate like this.
