Final: UCf 14, Miami 4

8th Inning

Bottom: This was not a good showing from the bullpen who are throwing anyone in there to try and find an answer.

Top: J.D. Arteaga has pulled out most of the starters from the lineup giving this game to the Knights.

7th Inning

UCF 14, Miami 4

Bottom: The Hurricanes finally allow a pitcher to finish an inning and the freshman Fernandez had a 2-2 count and allowed a three-run Homer that calls for another pitcher to be pulled from the bullpen.

Top: The Hurricanes get another run but they need a miracle to find a way to get more runs against this stealer pitching core from the Knights.

6th Inning

UCF 11, Miami 3

Bottom: It is a lot of sloppy play from the Hurricanes from the pitching staff. Five Innings and five pitchers for the Hurricanes.

Top: The Hurricanes are struggling to find some rhythm at the plate. To this point, they are .211 and getting dominated.

5th Inning

Bottom: For the first time this game, the Hurricanes have not allowed the Knights to score in an inning but it is still a large defactate.

Top: Another inning of no production from the Canes as they are falling further behind than they would want.

4th Inning

UCF 9, Miami 3

Bottom: On the other hand, the Hurricanes bullpen has been terrible. Three pitchers in three innings is not a great sign for the future of the program. More runs are allowed on and ends the inning for the Canes.

Top: the Hurricanes are finding ways to hit the ball but it has been a great day out of the bullpen for the Knights

3rd Inning

UCF 6, Miami 3

Bottom: The Knights sent nine at bat and they got four extra runs in the inning. This is going to be a high-scoring game until a pitcher shows up and shuts down the hitting on both sides.

Miami 3, UCF 2

Top: Mimi takes the lead with a great hit from Derek Williams for another homerun and a run for Peralta.

2nd Inning

UCF 2, Miami 0

Bottom: Miami gives up four hits and a lot of questionable defense on their side. UCF is one of the best hitting teams in the country and are proving it right now at home against the Canes.

Top: The Miami Hurricanes takes time with their count but it's a quick three up and down for the Canes.

1st Inning

Last season, the Miami Hurricanes suffered an early loss, their first in the J.D. Arteaga era, 4-3 in an upset victory at home. The UCF Knights have a 10-2 home record, the same as the Hurricanes, and look maintain a strong home streak alive against the Canes.

The midweek pitching has been ok for the Hurricanes but can the hitting from the weekend continue to translate throughout the week? Miami needs a dominant victory over a team like the Knights to bring back some confidence.

The Hurricanes are looking to make a statement against their in-state opponent before heading to No. 14 Wake Forest as ACC Play is quickly getting underway.

UCF Player to Watch

Andrew Williamson, UCF Knights - Williamson has been the Knights' most prolific hitter this season. Not only does he have a .393 average, but he also brings the power, leading the team with five home runs and 22 RBIs. He also leads the team with six doubles. When UCF needs to get something going at the plate, Williamson has been the man who has most often gotten the job done.
