The Hurricane bats were noisy early and often Saturday night as they clinched the weekend’s three-game series a night early, winning their second game over the Duke Blue Devils in as many evenings, 11-5.
No. 19 Miami (15-8, 9-7 ACC) displayed an offensive clinic Saturday night, with 19 hits, all singles and tied for a season-high, and a .442 batting average. They jumped out to an 8-0 lead after the second inning.
“Bottom line is we got a W,” Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. “[Duke] obviously didn’t play their best game…we’re happy with the win.”
