The Miami Hurricanes have surged through the early rounds of the ACC Tournament, posting victories over Stanford and Boston College that have reignited hopes of a milestone not achieved since 2008.
A Test of Depth
Central to that surge has been a revitalized pitching staff, with the bullpen tightening up and the rotation delivering quality starts. Freshman right‑hander AJ Ciscar is slated to take the mound against Georgia Tech, a team that exploded for 16 runs in its last outing.
Offensively, the club leans on a trio of standout performers: freshman Alonzo Alvarez, veteran Alex Sosa, and Derek Williams, each contributing a steady stream of hits and RBIs.
However, the lineup is not without setbacks. Daniel Cuvet, who has been sidelined by a stress fracture, is edging closer to a return, while TJ Coats remains unavailable after a nerve issue in his elbow limited his recent appearances.
The next test arrives on Saturday, May 23, at 1 p.m., when the Hurricanes meet Georgia Tech on the ACC Network. Fans can catch the action live through the conference’s streaming platform, with replays available on the network’s website.
With a blend of youthful energy and seasoned arms, Miami’s coaching staff believes the current stretch could mark the turning point of a season that has already exceeded preseason expectations.
