Our guys lost 5-4 in extras on Thursday, but followed up with a 3-1 win yesterday behind another great outing from the big arm of Robert Morey to clinch at least a share of the ACC Coastal. Morey was dominant against UNC last weekend, and followed it up with a solid start yesterday: one run allowed on three hits (with four walks) in seven innings. Over his last two starts, he’s allowed just two runs on six hits (and 12 total baserunners) in 16 innings. It’s beginning to look like he’s starting to Hulk up toward the end of the season just like he did last year.

The Thursday game saw a decent effort by Branden Kline in his first ACC start (two runs on three hits in five innings, striking out three) dumped on by a combination of late inning offensive ineptitude and Tyler Wilson’s struggles. Wilson was feast or famine against the ‘Canes, striking out seven in 5.2 innings while also allowing five hits and walking four. On the offensive side, two Miami relievers struck out eleven Cavaliers in six innings while allowing just three baserunners.

Game three has already begun, and the ‘Hoos are up 4-1 in the top of the 4th behind Danny Hultzen.
