CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – The University of Miami baseball team (25-18, 10-9 ACC) was victorious in the series opener against the Boston College Eagles Friday afternoon by a close 2-1 score. A go-ahead RBI double from sophomore Daniel Cuvet in the top of the eighth was the deciding factor in a tight ACC matchup.

Miami right-handed pitcher Carson Fischer (3-1) earned the win in relief after tossing 1 2/3 scoreless innings, while Brian Walters picked up his fifth save of the season.

Hurricanes starting pitcher Griffin Hugus delivered a solid start for the Hurricanes as the transfer from Cincinnati allowed one run over six innings with four hits, two walks and one strikeout.

Boston College starter Aidan Colarusso (1-5) took the loss after allowing two runs over eight innings with five strikeouts. The left-hander opened the Friday contest by retiring the first 11 Hurricanes he faced.

Michael Torres opened the scoring for the Hurricanes with a fielder’s choice that drove in Bobby Marsh with the bases loaded, putting the Hurricanes ahead 1-0 in the fifth.

Boston College battled back in the bottom of the fifth when pinch-hitter Esteban Garcia delivered a sacrifice fly to score Vince Cimini and tie the game at one.

In the top of the eighth, sophomore infielder Daniel Cuvet delivered the go-ahead run as the Fort Lauderdale, Fla. native brought home Max Galvin on a line drive shot to right center field.

The Miami defense continued to hold strong with right-handed reliever Brian Walters on the mound. A redshirt-junior, Walters would retire three straight batters in the bottom of the ninth and seal the sixth-straight conference win for the Hurricanes.

Miami now aims for its fourth-straight conference series win as game two of the three game series starts Saturday at 2 p.m. in Chestnut Hill. The game is available to watch on ACCNX or listen at WVUFM 90.5.
