Miami Hurricanes pitching breaks down as BYU takes series finale
After taking the first two games of the series, Miami couldn’t complete the sweep Saturday, as the Hurricanes fell to the BYU Cougars, 8-2, at Mark Light Field.
Miami (21-25) took a 2-0 lead in the fourth on a pair of solo shots from Dorian Gonzalez Jr. and Lucas Costello, but BYU (18-26) capped off the weekend set with a bang.
The Cougars scored eight runs across the final four innings, highlighted by a quartet of home runs.
BYU blasted a pair of two-run jacks in the sixth and smashed solos in both the seventh and ninth frames, as part of their late offensive outburst.
