The Hurricanes lost to Texas in their second game in the Coral Gables regional. Miami will need to win three straight games to advance to the super regionals.

"It felt good," Morales said. "Felt good getting the job done, now onto the next game."

The Miami Hurricanes couldn’t have started their NCAA Tournament run any stronger on Friday night at The Light. Runs poured for them all night against the Maine Black Bears en route to a 9-1 win in the Coral Gables Regional.

"Obviously, last season, we kind of had like a down slip going into the regional and we used that as motivation to flip the script," All-ACC closer Andrew Walters said. "This season, we’re on the way up and we’re playing some of our best baseball going into this regional. So, it’s a different feeling for sure."

On May 27, Miami baseball demonstrated its already proven dominion over the plate and defeated top-seeded Wake Forest in a 7-2 victory at Boshamer Stadium to advance to the ACC Tournament Championship.

"The team never gave up," Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. "Duke's playing very well right now. Their baseball team is swinging the bat pretty hot and their pitching is very good. Our guys stayed with it and never gave up. We found a way to get it done. I'm just happy and proud of our guys."

"We got it handed to us today," Miami head coach Gino DiMare said. "At the end of the day, they put the ball in play and they make you make plays. We hit some balls hard, but we didn’t get the big hits and the game got away from us."

The Miami Hurricanes played a Sunday doubleheader against Georgia Tech after inclement weather postponed baseball on Saturday. No. 17 Miami won the first game of the day 9-7 and dropped the second game 9-5 in six innings at Mark Light Field.
