Canes Rally, Force Game 3

You have to admit, even knowing as Canes fan that Miami has the best team in the nation, it was a pretty scary sight seeing the scoreboard with us down 4-0. That 4th inning was absolutely crucial to the survival of our season.

Miami's lineup came up big with 14 runs a day after producing a season low 5 hits in a disappointing 6-3 extra innings loss. Yonder Alonso was one of many to defy the swirling winds at the Light last night, smashing a 3 run shot to break a 4-4 tie in the 4th. Yasmani Grandal added another a few innings later to help solidify the lead and help the Canes hold on another day.

Now we have to rely on Enrique Garcia to pitch the best he has all year, or at least do well enough to keep us in the game so that we can advance to Omaha. Any loss would render this amazing season an utter failure and a complete disappointment. A #1 ranking means nothing without the ring to show for it. I think we're in good shape if we can get to the Arizona starter early. One of their better relief guys will be unavailable, so we have to take advantage if we can.
