Canes Baseball: Late Inning Runs & Losses Hurting Us

Miami Hurricanes - Coral Gables, Florida


The Canes are now 14-6 and have played well, but not good enough to put them in the top few teams in the country. Their pitching has been good, but not good enough unfortunately up to this point.

The Canes have plenty of talent which gives them the ability to contend. Holding opponents off in the late innings is hurting the team. That was evident against UCF and Fordham. While the Canes have been able to put up good numbers in the late innings in many games this year, this isn't a position we should be comfortable in. Sometimes those late rallies are not enough as we saw with UCF. Fordham and UCF are not the teams that Miami needs to let slip through, these should be W's on the schedule. We should be seeing those unfortunate losses happen against more talented and higher ranked opponents.

I see the Canes picking it up and moving into the top 10 in the country with a good solid sweep of NC State this weekend. Lets hope the Canes put it to 'em. LETS GO CANES>>>
