The Miami Hurricanes are riding a five-game winning streak, but if the Hurricanes want to send a message, they will have to make it against Clemson on the road as they return to conference play.

The Hurricanes' offense is starting to find its rhythm again, along with Daniel Cuvet and Derek Williams. The 2-7 lineup against anyone has been one of the most dangerous groups in the country. Now the Canes prepare for a streaky Tigers team coming off a bad loss against No. 15 Coastal Carolina.

Moreover, if the Hurricanes want to prove that they are a serious program, winning this season and getting back on track inside the ACC is the perfect way to do it. The vibes are high in Coral Gables during this five-game win streak, but with a sweep against the Tigers, the Canes could be ready to return to the spotlight.

The issue now is the bullpen, which remains a question mark this season.

The Hurricanes are due back two arms over the next few weeks, and if Nick Robert and Frank Menedez can provide good stuff, the Canes can find themselves back in a groove.

However, there is some positive news. First, freshman lefty Sebastian Santos-Olson will get the start for the Canes while Rob Evans continues to man the Saturday slot. Sunday will remain TBH, the Canes will be adding an arm while losing one.

Arteaga also confirmed that Florida transfer Frank Menedez will be available for the first time this season during the Tigers series.

Pregame:

1st Inning:

Top: The Hurricanes rally down from two outs with a walk and two hits that bring in Alex Sosa for the first run of the game. Brylan West drives in the first run of the game. The Hurricanes use the length of their lineup to get one on the board quickly.

Miami 1, Clemson 0

Bottom: Olson gets his first start during the weekend, and he does a solid job in his first start.

2nd Inning:

Top: The Canes have a lead off walk but they can't make any use of it. Two strikeouts and a catch to close out the top of the inning.

Bottom: Olson does a great job of getting out of a early jam with two runners on and getting a strikeout.

3rd Inning:

Top: T3 | West continues to be a great get for Miami. He has brought in both runs for the Canes. The middle of the lineup stays hot and makes the right swing at the right time.

Miami 2, Clemson 0

Miami with another run from Vance Sheahan. Miami isn't swinging for the fences, as they have been. Miami is keeping it simple and making the game plan simple against a good hitter.

Miami 3, Clemson 0

Bottom: That call will be called an out. What a throw from Alex Sosa from the run. Great tag as well. Some scares in the outfield to close the inning, but the Canes get out unscathed. Olson has done a great job so far in Ciscar's place.

4th inning:

Top: The Hurricanes go 1-2-3 against the Clemson

Bottom: Olson continues to jam his runners and is up to five strikeouts. He continues to take the aggressive approach that J.D. Arteaga has always wanted, and his confidence is starting to grow.

5th Inning:

Top: Brylan West is hooping right now. Not doing too much and just getting consistent hits. He has that change up and down with ease now. The bases get loaded. Miami can't take advantage of a reeling Clemson team. Leaves the bases loaded and Copeland strikes out looking.

Bottom: Olson's night is done. The Freshman in the Outing:

4.1 IN | 4 H | 0 R | 0 ER | 4 Ks

Enters Glidewell, with two on second and third, and one out. Now, Glidewell gets an error missing the bag on a routine out and the Tigers have some momentum.

Miami 3, Clemson 1

Glidewell get's out of the game only giving up one run.

6th Inning:
