The Miami Hurricanes start their road to Omaha in the Gainesville Regional against the Troy Trojans.

The Hurricanes look to learn from their mistakes against Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament Semifinals, starting with a dangerous team.

"I mean, obviously the committee thought highly of them to get in the at-large," Arteaga said ahead of the matchup. "As they should have. I mean, it's a good team. It's a good lineup. They propose a lot of different ways to beat you. And you gotta defend.

"You gotta play the small, you know, short game. You gotta pitch. You gotta run bases. They do a little bit of everything. So, it's a well-balanced team, well-coached team. They're not gonna give you anything. So we've got to play good baseball in order to beat them."

The Hurricanes will start with their best in Rob Evans, who gets the start to set toe tone for the Canes.

Starting Lineup:

Weather Delay

J.D. Arteaga was ready for a crazy outcome. Now in the weather delay, the Canes knew that this could always be a possibilty.

"Something I learned in my, I don't know what year this is for me in college baseball, 27 or 28 years, it, when you get to the regionals, super regionals, it's almost, it never goes by script, you know," Arteaga said. "It's always somebody that hasn't done a whole lot throughout the year that gets it done, gets a big out, a big inning, big hit.

"It's the weather or due to being a loser's bracket and you gotta go to somewhere you haven't gone to or whatever it might be. So, we're in the moment. We're in the moment. The rain comes, we'll make a decision then. Um, but that's something that we have absolutely no control over. And this game is hard enough to worry about weather, man. It's uh, we, we read our script, understanding we have to make adjustments as we go."

8: 35 p.m. ET — There are now swimming pools starting to form on field for the Miami and Troy game.

9:40 p.m. ET — Delay is over! First pitch time is set for 10:15 p.m. ET

1st Inning:

Top: Rob Evans starts the Canes off with a quick 1-2-3 inning after what was a long awaited moment for the team. Solid defense to start the game for the Canes.

Bottom: 1-2-3 inning from the Trojans as well. Going to be a fun late-night matchup here.

2nd Inning:

Top: Evans walks one but gets out with some defensive help. Scoreless through two.

Bottom: The Hurricanes get the first hit of the game from freshman Alonzo Alveraz, but everyone else gets too aggressive and pops out and flies out. Canes are now at the bottom of their lineup.

3rd Inning:

Top: Evans tried to force that one. Now there is a runner in scoring position. First error for the Canes, who lead the ACC in the stat. He gets out of his own jam, and all the outs coming are influenced by Vance Sheahan's fielding.

Bottom: And Vance Sheahan delivers the first bomb of the game for the Canes. The Bottom of Miami's lineup has been electric since the consistent change of the order.

Miami 1, Troy 0

Ball off the glove and another base for the Canes. A good third inning for Miami's offense with only one out.

Derek William with a bomb that blows it open. The second homer of the inning, and it comes from their best hitter.

Miami 4, Troy 0

4th Inning:

Top: Troy brings one in with a two-out single in the top of the 4th. A great slider, but a perfect hit. Evans gets clipped a bit but it's enough to send the Canes back.

Miami 4, Troy 1

Bottom: Three strikeouts from the Trojans in the inning. The Hurricanes only get one on with Sheahan continuing the charge.

5th Inning:

Top: Another hit let up. A double for the Trojans, and it is a one-run game. Troy is battle-tested so this is going to be one of those games for the Canes.

Miami 4, Troy 3

Troy couldn't hold, and Evans got out of there. Miami holds a one-run lead, and the best part of their lineup is up with some momentum hanging in the air.

Bottom: Williams steals a bag, and an error pushes him to third. A great jump and the right aggressive play at this time with Alveraz at the plate. He walks but a freshman mistake with base running that keeps the Canes away from scoring. A terrible time for bad base running.

6th Inning:

Top: Dorso enters and gives the Canes two strikeouts and a ground out. All Arteaga asks his bullpen to do is throw strikes, and the freshman is getting it done.

Bottom: Brylan West has been great at getting runs in for the Canes. He is a pinch-hitter for Fabio Peralta.

The Hurricanes get out of the winning leaving three runners on. The bases were loaded but quickly, it was cut short with Galvin getting jammed.

7th Inning:

Top: Look at Miami's freshman and the effort that is still there, nearing 1 a.m. Milano and flying out there for that last out, and Dorso gave two clean innings for the Canes.

Freshmen class continuing to steal to show heading into the bottom of the 7th.

Bottom: Late night madnessssssssss, A pitch that fouls off to the side, and an error brings Williams home, who had been walked. Call it luck, or whatever you want to call it, an incredible break for the Hurricanes.

Miami 5, Troy 3

8th Inning: How Are We Still Awake?

Top: Glidewell shook that pitch off and gave up a bomb. Tied game. 1:17 a.m. Top of the 8th. I don't know if that third-base coach for Troy got in his head, but that early shake-up helped.

Miami 5, Troy 5

Bottom: Might not have gotten the homer, but he got the double with only one out. Great hit from Ogden. Galvin gets it down for a base hit, and Miami takes the lead in the 8th. Miami's top of the order has been struggling, but right now, when they need them most, they are getting it done.

Miami 6, Troy 5

Alvarez continues his hot hitting and brings in the extra runner. Giving some insurance for the Canes.

Miami 7, Troy 5

Dubovik pushes it far enough that Miami can add an extra run.

MIami 8, Troy 5

Shout out, DeGoti. He gets a two-run RBI double to add more to the lead.

Miaim 10, Troy 5

9th Inning:

Top: 1:53 a.m. ET: An offensive explosion in the bottom of the 8th gives Miami the win, some extra sleep, and a date set with Florida at 8 p.m. after defeating Troy 10-5.

Get some sleep; another long game is coming.
