The 4th of July came early tonight at the Light, as the Canes lit up the scoreboard with an unprecedented 15 runs on 14 hits, leveling the series at one. All stops were pulled tonight, as the Irish were flushed down the drain when AJ Ciscar delivered a stellar performance, allowing only three hits through six innings while recording six strikeouts and permitting just a solitary walk. The Irish were completely bewildered by the second inning, where the game was practically decided with a 13-0 lead. Miami put up four runs in the first and nine more in the second, unleashing all the frustrations that had been building after four consecutive ACC losses and previous struggles at the plate. Tonight was a completely different narrative, featuring eight extra-base hits, three of which were home runs, contributing to a collective team batting average of .438, in stark contrast to the Irish’s .130. For the 2948 fans, being a Cane was an exhilarating night.
Miami did not waste any time making a statement with a four-run first inning. Ten players circled the bases before returning to the field. Jake, Max, and Daniel got it started by reaching base safely to open the inning, loading the bases for the first of six times that would follow in the game-shortened victory. Dorian and Tanner, each with a sacrifice fly to center field, initiated the scoring marathon that would last over the next two innings. An error at second delayed the third out, resulting in two additional runs. Jake, who began the inning by being hit, ended it with the bases loaded wth a strikeout.
Miami was just beginning to showcase their talent, flexing their muscles as they tallied nine runs in the second inning, sending fifteen batters through a whirlwind of players getting on base and crossing home plate. Max and Daniel set the tone for the inning with a walk and a hit batter, paving the way for Dorian to hit a home run straight up the middle, contributing three runs to the four already earned in the first inning. Miami continued to load the bases for the third time, adding three more runs thanks to the Irish’s second error, E6, on a botched 6-4 force out that skipped past the second baseman, which allowed Torres to reach third base. Back at the top of the lineup, Jake launched his eighth home run of the year to center field with a runner on base. After the bases were cleared, Daniel stepped up with a double, followed by an RBI single from Dorian, wrapping up a remarkable nine-run inning. The inning finally concluded after the Irish cycled through three pitchers, with Renzo grounding out while the bases were loaded once more.
Miami showcased an impressive performance with its 14th consecutive run in the 4th inning, highlighted by a solo home run from Daniel, bringing his season total to 16. Following a streak of 14 unanswered runs, Davis Johnson made his presence felt again, launching a home run to left-center. Unfortunately for the Irish, that marked their third and final hit of the game. Miami responded at the bottom of the inning by loading the bases for the sixth time and scoring with a fielder’s choice, which Fabio recorded, effectively concluding the game’s scoring marathon. On the mound, Jackson Cleveland received credit for retiring the Irish in order in the 7th inning, bringing the game to a close due to the hit rule.
Offensively, the game was impressively executed, showcasing a total of fifteen hits. Four players significantly contributed with multiple hits: Jake went 2-for-4, hitting a home run and driving in 2 runs; Daniel finished 3-for-3 with a double, home run, and 1 RBI; Dorian had an impressive 3-for-4 night with a home run and 5 RBIs; and Renzo recorded 2-for-4 with a double and 1 RBI. Additionally, Max, Tanner, and Jake Kulikowski each added a double to the offensive effort. Although Michael Torres was the only starter without a hit, he still made an impact by reaching base on a walk and an error (E6) while the bases were loaded, which resulted in three extra runs. It was an exciting display of offensive power tonight, and we hope this momentum will carry into tomorrow’s series finale.
AJ Ciscar delivered an outstanding pitching performance, allowing only 3 hits over 6 innings while striking out six Irish hitters. His dominance on the mound provided the team with a significant advantage. The bullpen is well-prepared for tomorrow’s game, although we hope that Tate DeRias will not need to call upon them. The third and final game carries considerable weight, with important implications for tournament alignment. Last night, Miami looked forward to the first game of the Tournament, scheduled to begin at 9:00 AM on Tuesday morning. They still aspire for a bye but will require some assistance to achieve that. However, the priority remains clear: they must secure a win tomorrow to clinch the series, with first pitch set for 1:00PM
