The Hurricanes got off to a hot start at the plate on Thursday, and their bats lifted them to the ACC tournament semifinals.
No. 5 seed Miami took down fourth-seeded Boston College 8-2 in the ACC tournament quarterfinals in Charlotte, North Carolina, advancing to the conference semifinals. UM will face top-seeded Georgia Tech at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
The Eagles got off to a quick start against Hurricanes pitcher Lazaro Collera, scoring a pair of first-inning runs. But Collera settled in and did not allow another run over the next four innings.
Meanwhile, Miami’s lineup got to work on the Boston College pitching staff. Shortstop Vance Shehan drove in UM’s first run with a second-inning groundout, and center fielder Fabio Peralta drove in two more with a home run. Second baseman Jake Ogden scored on a wild pitch before the inning was over.
The Hurricanes tacked on two more runs in the fourth inning on a home run by first baseman Alex Sosa.
Freshman third baseman Gabriel Milano added another insurance run with a seventh-inning double, and Dubovik made it an 8-2 game with a fielder’s choice in the eighth inning.
Miami’s bullpen, which struggled at times during the season, locked down the Boston College offense for the final four innings. Nick Robert, Jack Durso, Packy Bradley-Cooney and Lyndon Glidewell each pitched a scoreless inning.
