Miami Hurricanes baseball falls to No. 8 Florida Gators 6-3
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Miami baseball team (8-3) dropped game two of the three-game series to the eighth-ranked Florida Gators (11-0), 6-3, Saturday night at Condron Family Ballpark. It was the Hurricanes second straight loss at Florida.
Miami right-handed pitcher Griffin Hugus (2-1) delivered five solid innings of work as the transfer from Cincinnati struck out ten but surrendered two earned runs on four hits.
Florida’s Pierce Cappola and Aiden King (2-0) struck back with performances of their own as the duo held the Hurricanes to one hit through six frames.
Once Hugus exited the contest in the sixth, Florida tallied three quick runs with an RBI double from Landon Stripling, followed by a two-run home run from Luke Heyman that boosted Florida’s lead to 4-0.
