No. 24 Miami Seeks Series Defining Win Against Boston College: Live Updates

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — No. 24 Miami continues to work through its early-season problems. Still, against the Boston College Eagles, it has a chance to finish the series with a win, earning its first in conference play.

The Canes have some bullpen issues to figure out still, but as more time closes in, two more arms are destined to get ready to get into the lineup.

Now the Canes look to lean on their star hitters and outstanding defensive lineup to combat the Eagles' never-give-up mentality on a windy Sunday afternoon at Mark Light Field.

Pregame:

Miami Hurricanes Starters	Boston College Starters
Jake Ogden, 2B
Michael Torres, CF
Daniel Cuvet, 3B
Alex Sosa, C
Derek Williams, DH
Brylan West, 1B
Dylan Dubovik, LF
Vance Sheahan, SS
Fabio Peralta, RF
Pitcher: Tate DeRias

1st Inning:

Top: With DeRias getting the starting nod, there has been a lot to appreciate about his ground out work. It highlights Cuvet's defensive efforts allowing the Canes to throw a zero on the board.

Bottom: Ogden gets a walk, and it is followed by a double from Cuvet, pushing in to third with only one out. The Hurricanes strand one, because of Cuvet getting tagged, going too far after a mishandling of the ball at third. Cane's still score thanks to Williams bringing in Ogden, but a missed chance with West due.

Miami 1, Boston College 0

2nd Inning:

TOP: The star freshman has done many things, but he has suffered one of his first errors in the outfield. Boston College responds in the second with an RBI double, slipping by Ogden on second.

Top: DeRias continues to hit batters but it hasn't slowed down what the Eagles are doing. They continue to get on base.

Bottom: The top of the Hurricanes' order continues to be questionable. Ogden gets on base, but his hitting has not been as consistent as some may have hoped. Torres strikes out, and Cuvet is in an early-season slump.

A terrible mistake on the stolen base. Cuvet has been caught with those types of plays all weekend. He just doesn't have the speed for it.

5th Inning:

Top: The Hurricanes go through another pitcher, bringing in TJ Coats. The Eagles take the lead right back with a two-run single. Bullpen continues to be an issue for the Canes, who can't run from it now.

Boston College 7, Miami 5
