The Miami Hurricanes won the last game of their weekend series at Duke after losing the two opening games. After a Wednesday night game at Central Florida Miami finished the week 2-2.

The Miami Hurricanes jumped on Duke early in Sunday’s game. Miami scored two in the first, two in the second and three in the third to jump out to a seven to nothing lead. They later tacked on a run in the sixth to go ahead eight to nothing. Only a two-out two-run home run by Duke’s Aaron Therien prevented the shutout.

Andrew Cabezas who began the season as the closer started for Miami. He was brilliant in six innings allowing three hits a walk and six strikeouts. Coincidently Cabezas’ last start was the Super Regional clinching victory in 2016 also against Duke.

Last year’s closer Frankie Bartow and Jeremy Cook bridged the gap to the ninth. Cooper Hammond closed the game out and gave up the home run. Bartow and Cook continued the shutout. Hammond gave only the two runs.

Five Miami Hurricanes had a multiple hit day. They were paced by Freshman Dylan Cloonan who went three-for-five with two RBIs and Hunter Tackett who started in right field and went three-for-three with an RBI and a run scored. Miami finished with a season-high 15 hits.

Miami got on the board in the first inning with four straight hits with two outs. A single by Tackett, RBI double by Michael Perez accounted and RBI single by Michael Burns accounted for the first inning runs. The fifteen hits on Saturday were one less than the Hurricanes combined for in losses on Friday night and Saturday.
