Daniel Cuvet Arrives and Leads Miami Past Princeton in Second Game of Doubleheader
CORAL GABLES, Fla — The University of Miami baseball team (6-1) took game two of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Princeton Tigers (0-3), 15-1.
Miami started the game right where they left off from game one, scoring 10 runs in three innings.
This was also the game that star third baseman Daniel Cuvet emerged back to form. The offensive barrage led by Cuvet, blasted his first home run of the season, a two-run shot that went 389 feet to right-center. On the night, Cuvet when 4-for-5 at the plate with three RBI.
This is only a great sign for the future and the right time for Cuvet to warm up with No. 10 Florida in the wings.
Right-handed pitcher Alex Giroux (1-0) notched his first win in his first start as a Hurricane as the Hawai’i transfer pitched six innings, striking out five and surrendering a lone run that didn’t come until the sixth.
Giroux was highly efficient in his Miami opener and a great arm that might be used during the midweek matchups.
Miami will look to finish the sweep over the Tigers Sunday at Mark Light Field at Alex Rodriguez Park with the first pitch slated for 1 p.m.
