Final Update:
Here's how the game ended for U Caniacs who misses it...
CJ Kayfus is up with runners on 1st and 2nd with just 1 out...
Kayfus...a hit could win it...if he hits it we could have a play at the plate...fouled off...0-1...here's an opposite-field clutch single to LF...and here comes Wallen hauling tail around 3rd...but their fielder bobbles the ball and we score easily...no play at the plate as their strategy to change outfielders backfires and we...
WIN THE GAME!!!!
And our players and fans go crazy!!!!!!
Mark Light Magic LIVES!!!!!
Canes Win their 30th Game of the Year!
Miami is 29-0 After Leading After 8 Innings!
Final Line Score in 10 innings
In the 10th
With runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out...
CJ Kayfus is up...but first...thinking CJ will hit to right, Pitt swaps their LF & RF players to put their player with the stronger arm in right...what does CJ do???? He crosses them up and hits a solid single to opposite-field in left...on the sound of the bat Wallen at 2B hauls tail for 3rd and Coach G waves him around heading for home...

Happy Friday, Caniacs!
Tonight our Miami Hurricanes host the Pitt Panthers at The Light in Game 1 of a 3-game series.
Below is from a Thursday night post with stats on the two teams. If U missed it, read on.
Pitt has won 4 straight ACC series: Clemson, Louisville, BC and UVA.
The Panthers lost to WVU at home Wednesday, 3-2 in 11 innings. Committing 4 Es sure didn't help. Per Division1Baseball.com, between the Louisville series and WVU, Pitt lost 6 starters to injuries including all 3 outfielders, SS and 3B. They expect some, if not all, back this weekend, so we need to keep an eye on that.
Enjoy!
