Canes Baseball: The State of Miami…

23-2 in 25 games for the Canes – the best start ever under head coach Jim Morris; matching the early streak in 1995.

Tonight’s 13-2 beatdown of F.I.-who comes a day after a 16-7 thrashing of Florida Atlantic. It truly is the ‘state of Miami’ regarding Hurricanes Baseball these days. Neither the Owls or Golden Panthers can hold a candle to The U right now.

Ranked No. 2 in the land, Miami has been on a tear of tears. Two Sunday losses (Florida on 3/2 and N.C. State, 3/16) are the difference between a two-loss bunch and 25-0.

Up next, a home stand against Clemson starting this Friday evenings. The Tigers stumble in 18-10 and 6-6 in the ACC, compared to the Canes 9-1 conference record.

CU started out ranked in the top 15 but has steadily plummeted while riding a losing streak. Clemson dropped three of their past four and went 4-6 over a ten game stretch in early March.

Friday and Saturday nights’ action goes off at 7pm EDT, with a 1pm EDT start on Sunday. Miami’s had two Sunday starts canceled due to weather already this season.

Kudos to Coach Morris, his staff and this team. These Canes look like the mature bunch we were hoping for in 2008. There were some glimmers of hope last season, but it’s all obviously coming together. Stay focused and this team can make a nice run in Omaha.

On a side note… any other out of town Canes oft scratching their heads that ESPN hasn’t found a way to make some money with a college baseball package? I’d throw down a c-note to get a season’s worth of Miami Baseball on ESPN PPV.

Someone get on the ball in Bristol.
