The Miami Hurricanes suffered their first loss of the season against Florida Atlantic in a midweek match, however, the issues seen during the mid-week should disappear with the starting rotation back against Princeton.
The Hurricanes Bullpen struggled against the Owls and now prepare to take on the Tigers who open their season against the Hurricanes.
Miami's star third baseman Daniel Cuvet is off to a cold start this season. He is slashing a .182/.182/.308. It will be critical for him to get back to his freshman form to elevate the Hurricanes to a possible contender for the national championship. The support around him is playing very well and the defense of the Hurricanes looks better than last season.
