Final Update:

After taking a 2-0 lead, we fall behind 4-2, but we tie it up at 4-4 late before a Yoyo Morales mega-shot to deep CF gives us a 5-4 lead and that was the final score...but not before we had major drama in the 9th where the Cavs loaded the bases and we just barely...got the final out at 1B after a video reviews...

Sheesh, what a game between 2 top 10 programs!

So, the Canes win and we take the series against the No. 3 team in the land...

But to repeat, we got the first 2 outs in the 9th but then the Cavs get 2 straight hits, we hit a batter and they leave 3 bases juiced!!!

Wow!!!!!

And boy, does our closer Andrew Walters look relieved!!! No kidding! If he had flubbed this one on his iffy throw to first....

I'll say it again...what a a game!!!!

Final Line Score:

Off the top of my head, I vote for our pitching staff again...to hold UVA to just 8 hits and 4 runs + kudos to our bats who went yard 3x!

GAME STATS
This will be worth your time looking at so go here (Courtesy: stats.statsbroadcast.com)

RECORDS
Miami improves to 25-6 and 12-2/ACC to extend their Coastal lead over UVA to 3 games. UVA drops to 26-5 and 9-5/ACC

UP NEXT
Get out your brooms, Caniacs...Game 3 is Sunday at 1 pm...and a heads up: I doubt I can cover this game so I will set up a game thread and hopefully, someone can pinch-hit...no cable/satellite TV for this one but it will be on ACCNX via the ESPN app or on your PC/Mac...

I'm exhausted, Caniacs!!! But I'm going to enjoy this one and I hope U will too.

It's great to be...especially after we win a series against No. 3!!!

Have a great rest of your Saturday night and an even better Sunday!

Go Canes!

----------------------------------

Good evening, Caniacs!

It's Game 2 of this high-powered series aat The Light between No. 3 Virginia and No. 8 Miami.

We're up 1-0 and have chance to win the series tonight but....we've done poked the bear and I
would imagine we'll see a different UVA team. They were embarrassed last night and they'll be
out to even the series. If we thought last night would be tough...wait for tonight.

We're 24-6 and 11-2/ACC while UVA is 26-4 and 9-4/ACC so we have a 2 game lead on them in the
Coastal.

Starting Pitchers:

UM:
FR RHP Karson Ligon is 4-1 with a league-leading 1.45 ERA. Not bad for a true FR, huh?
UVA: The Cavs throw another lefty at us (as they will in Game 3) named Brian Gursky. He's 5-0
with a 2.61 ETRA.

Here's how U can follow the game:

This is the UVA starting lineup...note Mr. Gelof in the cleanup sot at No. 4. He came into the
series as the leading batter at .436 and after going 0-4 in Game 1 that number has changed.
He also has 14 HRs and 53 RBIs...he came up zero and zero last night. How long can we keep
him down?
