Live College Baseball Updates: No. 13 NC State at Miami; Game One
Final: Miami 6, No. 13 NC State 4
Top: A scary moment for the Hurricanes with Brian Walters, but he gets them out and closes the window on the Wolfpack.
9th Inning
Bottom: Here comes the Canes as Bobby Marsh comes in as a pinch hitter, bringing some new placement for the Canes late in the game.
Top: Great defensive work from the Canes to not allow anything on the board.
8th Inning
Miami 6, NC State 4
Bottom: Cuvet brings in his fifth RBI for the Canes. He has been the offense, and it has been a great showing from the Hurricanes' superstar.
Top: Carson Fischer is now in for the Hurricanes and he goes 1, 2, 3 to the lineup as they keep a stranglehold on the one run lead.
7th Inning
Bottom: A quick outing for the Hurricanes, whose offense has gone stale after those huge homers from Cuvet. Now it's time for the Canes to seek that new level of grittiness.
Top: A scary outing for the Canes. After Hugus gets the strikeout, he is done for the day, and in comes Alex Giroux. He almost gave up a homerun for his first hit at bat, but it worked out for the best as the Canes get gritty and get the much needed outs.
6th Inning
Miami 5, NC State 4
Bottom: Jake Ogden steals home on a bold move. It was worth it as the Wolfpack stayed frozen. (It should have also been a balk.)
Top: A safe inning from the Hurriacnes. A few players allowed on base but no runs allowed. Back the top of the lineup the Canes go.
5th Inning
Bottom: A quiet inning for the Hurricanes. This is one of those time momentum is not in their favor and a great showing from Hugus now is needed.
Top: Disaster for the Hurricanes. Giving up three runs just from bad defense might haunt them the rest of the night.
4th Inning
Miami 4, NC State 1
Bottom: Daniel Cuvet might need a statue soon. He smashes another ball out of the park gifting the Canes a 4-1 lead.
Miami 2, NC State 1
Top: A bit of a different Hugus than Hurricanes fans are used to seeing in the third. He is allowed a few more hits than normal, but the defense is still outstanding. Only allowing a sac-fly
3rd Inning
Bottom: A quick up and down for the Hurricanes. Bottom of the lineup is without Bobby Marsh today and is filled with freshman. (They are extremely capable)
Top: Hugus allows another hit, but the Hurricanes' defense has been one of the best in the ACC when they are behind him. A double play to second and first allows the Hurricanes to get out of a jam.
2nd Inning
Miami 2, No. 13 NC State 0
Bottom: Just need you all to hear the news. Daniel Cuvet is better than back. He's at that first-team All-American level right now. He gets the Hurricanes started with a bomb out to center field, giving the Hurricanes a few quick runs.
Top: Two strikeouts in the first for Griffin Hugus. He only allows one runner on off a jammed swing with some weird motion. Great start for the Hurricanes ace.

The Miami Hurricanes baseball team is coming off another massive series sweep on the road against the Boston College Eagles last weekend. They outscored the Eagles in the series by a total score of 18 - 7. This team has been scorching hot, winning nine of their last ten games. Hopefully, the week off didn't give them time to cool down.
Friday will be their first game since last Sunday, and it kicks off a tough series against the NC State Wolf Pack. While Miami now boasts an impressive 27 - 18 overall record and a 12 - 9 record in ACC play, the Wolf Pack have been even better at 30 - 13 overall and 15 - 6 in conference play. This promises to be a hard-fought and exciting series.

Miami Player To Watch
Daniel Cuvet, Miami Hurricanes - The third baseman had an absolutely monster series last weekend and was the catalyst for the sweep over Boston College. In three games, he went 5 for 11 with two walks in 13 plate appearances while driving in at least one run in every game for a total of five RBIs, including all three of their runs in their 3 - 2 victory on Sunday to clinch the sweep. He also crossed the plate three times. It was an incredible weekend, and he will look to stay hot against the Wolf Pack.
NC State Player To Watch
Chris McHugh, NC State Wolf Pack - McHugh is the most dangerous hitter in the NC State lineup. He leads the team in OPS (1.037), batting average (.377), hits (60), and RBIs (46). The key to winning this series for the Hurricanes will be cooling off his bat and not letting him wreak havoc at the plate.
