Miami Hurricanes baseball rises near the top in rankings, winning 18 of past 21 games
Miami Hurricanes baseball has risen again in the rankings.
Despite losing Sunday’s finale of their three-game weekend series, the formerly fifth-ranked Canes won the Friday and Saturday games against Pittsburgh and were rewarded Monday with a ranking as high as No. 2 by at least one of the polls used in college baseball.
UM (31-9, 16-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) rose from No. 5 to No. 3 in polls put out by D1Baseball, Baseball America and in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Miami went from No. 4 to No. 2 in the Collegiate Baseball Poll.
“We gotta stay positive and move forward,’’ UM coach Gino DiMare said after UM’s 9-4 home loss to Pitt on Sunday. “We’re coming down the home stretch here and we have some really tough games. Gotta finish strong.’’
The ACC-leading Hurricanes have won 18 of their past 21 games, including a 14-game winning streak from March 23 through April 12.
The Canes next meet Stetson at 6 p.m. Tuesday at home, followed by a three-game weekend series at the ACC’s Georgia Tech (25-16, 10-11) in Atlanta.
