Canes Sweep Eagles

The Miami baseball team is off to a hot start, winning 9 of their first 10 games. Yesterday they completed their sweep of the overmatched Boston College Eagles with a 7-1 victory.

The Canes are really clicking right now, as they are getting production from both their bats and their arms. Freshman pitcher Chris Hernandez continues to look good as a new addition to the staff, accumulating 19 Ks in just 19 innings.

Meanwhile, guys like first baseman Yonder Alonso continue to prove their worth day in and day out. The Canes are getting hits from everyone in the lineup and benefited yesterday from a pair of hits from OFs Adan Severino and Dave DiNatale in addition to 3 hits from second baseman Jemile Weeks.

The 5th ranked Canes (7th by Baseball America and 2nd by Rivals.com) now face unranked Penn State tomorrow night.

One last quick note: the rival Seminoles have also started off strong, with a 12-0 record.
