Two games, and two losses for the Miami Hurricanes against the UNC Tar Heels at Bryson Field at Boshamer Stadium. Due to an ominous weather forecast in Chapel Hill for Saturday’s scheduled game, the teams played a doubleheader Friday, one the Canes will want to forget.
Miami fell 4-2 in Game 1 Friday after a slow start. The Tar Heels built an early cushion though methodical, station-to-station baseball, scoring a single run in four of the first five frames during the 3 p.m. contest.
