Miami rallies late to take second game from NC State
North Carolina State first baseman Austin Murr’s fisted ball fell into Christian Del Castillo’s glove in right field, bringing a collective sigh of relief to the Miami dugout inside Doak Field at Dail Park on Saturday.
Losing the weekend opener for a second-straight week, the Miami Hurricanes baseball team sought to even its second Atlantic Coast Conference series in as many tries on the season.
Freshman first baseman CJ Kayfus hit a leadoff home run in the top of the eighth inning and No. 6 Miami (4-4, 2-3 ACC) defeated No. 24 NC State (4-5, 1-4 ACC) 6-4 in the second game of the series Saturday afternoon.

Miami had all week to think about last weekend’s series loss to Virginia Tech and how to move on from it.
But if what happened at Doak Field at Dail Park Friday afternoon reflects Miami’s fortunes throughout the rest of the weekend or beyond, the No. 6 Hurricanes are in trouble.
There was a moderate breeze all afternoon at North Carolina State’s home park in Raleigh, N.C. It may have been a factor in the number of home runs hit, mostly by the No. 24 Wolfpack (4-4,1-3 ACC). But UM’s pitching won’t be looked upon favorably when many fans take their first peek at the postgame box.
