Miami Hurricanes baseball takes two from Princeton, goes for sweep Sunday
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami baseball team (6-1) took game two of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Princeton Tigers (0-3), 15-1.
Right-handed pitcher Alex Giroux (1-0) notched his first win in his first start as a Hurricane as the Hawai’i transfer pitched six innings, striking out five and surrendering a lone run that didn’t come until the sixth.
Giroux was highly efficient in his Miami opener, throwing 55 out of 80 pitches for strikes.
Miami started the game right where they left off from game one, scoring 10 runs in three innings.
The offensive barrage was led by Daniel Cuvet, who blasted his first home run of the season, a two-run shot that went 389 feet to right-center. Cuvet ended the evening 4-for-5 at the plate with three RBI.
