There is a sense of urgency for the Miami Hurricanes that hasn't been seen or felt all season. They are playing their best baseball with one goal in mind: to make a statement. Earlier in the season, the Canes blew a series against Boston College. But they would have a chance in the quarterfinals of the ACC Baseball Championship to right a wrong. They defeated the Eagles 8-2 thanks to a great outing from starter Lazaro Collera and two home runs, split between home run king Alex Sosa and a rising sophomore.Early on, it was the Fabio Peralta show, flashing his glove in the outfield and smashing his first home run of the season. Truist Field has been hitter-friendly all tournament long, and for the Canes, it was the perfect time to take the lead and start pushing more runs around the diamond.

'J.D. Arteaga quote'It had been a difficult choice to put him over the outstanding defense of Michael Torres, but he has been the better offensive player. Moreover, following him would be Sosa, smashing his 17th homer of the season in the fourth inning..@ACCBaseball loves Sosa 🫶 pic.twitter.com/P23GPVg2NW— Miami Hurricanes Baseball (@CanesBaseball) May 21, 2026Sosa quoteEven with the lead, the Canes still had questions after an early slip-up from Collera. He gave up two runs, but after that, he settled in, highlighting why the Canes are so high on him. Arteaga quoteCollera finished pitching five innings, allowing three hits, two earned, and four strikeouts. He is proving to be a good arm for the Canes, who will be needed in the NCAA Tournament. It would rotate to a bullpen battle, and the Canes would see work from Nick Robert, Jack Dorso, Packy Bradley-Cooney, and closer Lyndon Glidewell. 1-4-3 🤝 pic.twitter.com/DNl8dmkKaL— Miami Hurricanes Baseball (@CanesBaseball) May 21, 2026Now the Hurricanes turn their attention to one of, if not the best, in the country. Miami avoided Georgia Tech in the regular season, but now has its full attention after the 16-run performance against Virginia. The Hurricanes will battle for a finals spot against the Yellow Jackets in the semifinals of the ACC Baseball Championship.Follow all social media platforms to stay up to date with everything Miami Hurricanes-related: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and BlueSky.Read More Miami Hurricanes News:Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
