Miami Hurricanes Shut Out Niagara 10-0 Behind Griffin Hugus’ Dominant Performance
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami baseball team (2-0) shutout the Niagara Purple Eagles (0-2) Saturday evening, 10-0, with a masterclass performance from junior pitcher Griffin Hugus (1-0).
In six innings of work, Hugus fanned 11 batters while giving up a single hit in the sixth. As a team, the Hurricanes retired 15 batters on the night.
Ten strikeouts marks a new single-game record for the right-hander. Hugus’ previous record dates back to his freshman year as a Cincinnati Bearcat, where the Wellington, Fla., native tallied six strikeouts against Memphis.
Senior catcher Tanner Smith was dialed in at the plate as the Oregon State transfer went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a triple and three RBI.
