CORAL GABLES, Fla. — No. 11 Miami took care of business.
After dominating Friday and Saturday, the Hurricanes completed the sweep Sunday.

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).
