CORAL GABLES, Fla. — No. 22 Miami (2-0) searches for the first sweep of the season as it prepares for a Sunday afternoon at Mark Light Field against Lehigh.

The Canes are coming off another offensive explosion, defeating the Mountain Hawks 17-11 in the Saturday night matchup between the two teams.

That score is a bit concerning because of the Number of runs given up; however, with how they played offensively and how NC State transfer Alex Sosa and returning senior Derek Williams, the Canes offense looks as explosive as ever.

The Canes now prepare with a returning Sunday starter Tate DeRias for his sophomore season with new things on the horizon.

1st Inning:

Top: DeRias gets two out and pops up the last one—solid inning for the sophomore pitcher.

Bottom: Cuvet gets walked, but the Canes don't have any luck at the plate. Jake Ogden has started the season slowly but is expecting it to pick up over the next few games.

2nd Inning:

Top: DeRias does well getting the 0-2 count, but after that is where he struggles. That will be the next step for him to become a great pitcher. He gets out of the inning with some struggles. Great diving and rolling catches from Cian Copeland at first base. Another scoreless inning.

Bottom: Derek Williams' hot streak continues. Lead off double to start for the Canes. Cian Copeland gets the RBI single to bring in Williams for the first score of the game. Missed the glove at first, allowing it to slip by.

Miami 1, Lehigh 0

A consistent trend this weekend with Lehigh has been the constant change in arms. After 25 pitches, they have already gone to the Bullpen.

Torres has continued where he left off in the postseason. He is giving great stuff at the bottom of the rotation, bringing in two runs with a two-run RBI single.

Max Galvin pops one up and brings in Torres. The Canes' offense is starting to get off now.

Miami 4, Lehigh 0

Ogden steals second, and an error sends him to third. Was one of the best base stealers for the Canes last season. However, it wasn't used fully as the Cuvet pops out.

3rd Inning:

Top: DeRias gives up his second hit of the game, and it's a homer for Lehigh. Some early struggles in the Saturday and Sunday rotation. Maybe also some opening weekend jitters.

DeRias gets the last two to swing out. He is up to 5ks to start the third for the Canes. Sosa, Williams, and Copeland are due.

Bottom: The Canes would get people on base but it took forever for

4th Inning:

Top: DeRias is starting to hit his groove but the issue now is his pitch count. He has a new career high strikeouts but it is one 80-plus pitches in the fourth.

Bottom: Jake Ogden is having his best overall game of the series. His glove is outstanding, and now he is making contact with the ball as well. It also helps when the top of the lineup is also hitting at an elite rate.

Moreover, it helps when Daniel Cuvet is hitting homeruns to extend leads.

Miami 7, Lehigh 2

Copeland gets thrown at first but brings in another run.

Miami 8, Lehigh 2

5th Inning:

Top: DeRias gives up a homer and now he gets pulled. He pitched for 4.2 allowing four hits, three runs, and punched out nine batters. The Hurricanes bring in Brixton Lofgren.

Miami 8, Lehigh 3

Bottom: The Hurricanes continue to bring in runs. Max Galvin, adds to his total for the day driving in Torres.

Miami 9, Lehigh 3
