Hello. Caniacs...

Happy Friday...almost!

We start the last regular season series, and for UM I say the most important, a day early thanks to the start of the ACC tournament next Tuesday in Charlotte.

We welcome No, 14 Notre Dame to The Light for the first of a 3-game series. We may be ranked higher but ND is playing batter. U can see their record below. They're on a 1-game winning streak after whipping Northwestern 14-7 in 7 innings 2 days ago. Prior to that, they won 5 in a row before losing Game 3 to Pitt at home, 5-2.

RECORDS
Miami: 37-15, , 18-9/ACC - 1st place Coastal Division, .667 winning %, best in ACC, VT 2nd at .640
Notre Dame: 32-11, 15-9/ACC - 1st place Atlantic Division, .625 winning %, 3rd/ACC
