CORAL GABLES, Fla. — No. 11 Miami took care of business.

After dominating Friday and Saturday, the Hurricanes completed the sweep Sunday.

Miami scored early and often, pummeling Presbyterian, 12-2, at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field.

The Hurricanes (31-16) tallied runs in five of their eight trips to the plate, highlighted by a five-run sixth inning.

Junior third baseman Yohandy Morales led the charge with a four-hit, five-RBI performance, punctuated by a three-run blast in the sixth.

Freshman Jason Torres backed up Morales with his first career four-hit game, while fellow rookie Blake Cyr cranked a homer and plated three runs in the victory over the Blue Hose (18-30).

Fourth-year junior right-hander Ben Chestnutt (6-0) earned the win in relief, tossing 3/2 scoreless. Chestnutt retired 11 of the 12 batters he faced, including the first 10 he faced.

Presbyterian starter Daniel Eagen (0-1) was tagged with the loss, surrendering four runs on seven hits across 2 2/3 innings.

Following its fourth sweep of the season, Miami will face crosstown foe FIU Wednesday. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. at Mark Light Field.
