Miami Hurricanes Athletics

The Miami Hurricanes baseball team ended their regular season with a whimper on Saturday against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. After months of incredible baseball and consistent winning, they stumbled down the stretch, losing five of their final six games. However, the team will have to pull themselves together and refocus as they prepare for the ACC Tournament, which kicks off on Tuesday.

The No. 9 seed Hurricanes will open up against No. 16 seed Cal Golden Bears in a win or go home first round matchup. Cal did not have a great season, finishing just 22 - 30 overall and 9 - 21 in conference play. This is a game that Miami should be the favorites to win, but they will have to bounce back and play better ball than they have been as of late. The winner will advance to Round 2 on Wednesday, May 21.

Miami Player To Watch

Daniel Cuvet, Miami Hurricanes - Cuvet has been far and away the Canes' top player this season. His 76 RBIs are 30 more than anyone else on the team, and his 16 home runs at least double every other teammate's total for the season. His .374 batting average is also a team best. He has been hitting for power and contact, and dominated against ACC pitching. How far Miami goes in this tournament will have a lot to do with how he plays when the lights shine their brightest.
