Live Updates as No. 23 Miami Kick Starts Its Weekend against Lafayette
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — No. 23 Miami (5-0) finds itself back in action as the regular season is well underway. They face off against Lafayette, starting a four-game series on Friday, starting with AJ Ciscar.
It also helps that the Hurricanes have plenty of offensive depth with star batter Max Galvin out for a bit of time with a foot injury.
The Hurricanes will now have a new starting lineup and likely plug and play many different players this weekend to see what the roster looks like and how they want them to play.
Pregame:
While No. 23 Miami is 5-0 to start this season, they will now be without one of their star hitters for six-eight weeks thanks to a foot injury.
Miami Hurricanes senior Max Galvin suffered a foot injury in the comeback win against UCF.
Galvin suffered the injury in Tuesday's 8-7 win over UCF during an at-bat in the 10th inning stumbing his way out of the batter's box for a groundout double. Galvin had started the first four games of the season, three in left field and one as the designated hitter, batting in the 2-spot. He was hitting .278 with two doubles and six RBIs.
Last season, he finished the season hitting .313 with 18 doubles, eight home runs, nine stolen bases, and 37 RBIs in 60 games, 59 starts.
