Cuvet's grand slam lifts Miami Hurricanes over FIU in game at Marlins' loanDepot park
It was a big-time moment at a big-time venue for one of the Miami Hurricanes' big-time players. Tie game. Bases loaded. Two outs. Full count. Daniel Cuvet was up for the moment. Cuvet capped his eight-pitch at-bat in the sixth inning with a go-ahead grand slam to left field to lead the Hurricanes to a 7-3 win over FIU on Tuesday at loanDepot park, home of the Miami Marlins. 'It's a good feeling,' said Cuvet, a Fort Lauderdale native. 'It's my first time playing in my home big league stadium, so that was cool for me to hit that home run there.' The home run, Cuvet's third of the season, came on an 81.1 mph curveball from FIU's Tacen Cameron. Cuvet sent it a projected 368 feet, landing in the Hurricanes' bullpen. 'A lot of pitches, a lot of breaking balls,' Cuvet said. 'I was able to make some adjustments and able to connect with that one.' But the opportunity almost didn't come. Some good fortune on a bobbled groundball that Michael Torres hit to FIU shortstop Alex Ulloza and heads-up baserunning from Fabio Peralta one at-bat earlier kept the inning alive to bring Cuvet to the plate. 'That was absolutely the play of the game to get our best batter, our most dangerous bat to the plate,' UM coach JD Arteaga said. 'If [Peralta] doesn't do that, then Cuvet's leading off the next inning and who knows what happens?' Cuvet entered the season with high expectations. He had a stellar freshman season during which he hit .351 with a 1.165 on-base-plus-slugging mark and set a UM freshman record with 24 home runs. He was named to the watch list for the Golden Spikes Award (given to the nation's top player) as well as a preseason All-American by the NCBWA, D1Baseball and Perfect Game. D1Baseball also named Cuvet as the country's top third baseman. After a relatively slow start to the season with just a pair of singles through his first four games, Cuvet is on an eight-game hitting streak during which he is batting .379 (11 for 29) with two doubles, three home runs, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored in that span. 'It feels good,' Cuvet said. 'It's a process. You're gonna have bad games. They just happened to be at the beginning of the season. That's how I kind of look at it. From here on out, I'm looking to get better and keep hitting.' His grand slam on Tuesday broke open the game after the Hurricanes saw their early three-run lead vanish. Miami jumped out to that 3-0 advantage with a two-out rally in the second inning. It started with back-to-back walks to Bobby Marsh and Tanner Smith before first baseman Todd Hudson, Peralta and Torres each followed with RBI singles. That trio entered the game with just six combined RBI — three for Hudson, two for Peralta, one for Torres. All seven of Miami's runs on Tuesday came with two outs. But FIU (11-3) scratched its way back with a two-run third inning on an RBI double from Kareh Valentin and a Brylan West sacrifice fly. The Panthers tied it in the fifth on a two-out RBI single from Austin Dearing. The potential go-ahead run for FIU was thrown out at home on a great throw from Torres in center field. Right-handed pitcher Alex Giroux, making his second start of the season, held FIU to three runs on five hits over six innings while striking out four. The Hurricanes bullpen of Lazaro Collera, AJ Ciscar and Jackson Cleveland combined for three shutout innings to seal the win. Miami and FIU will play three more times during the regular season: April 2 and May 7 at the Hurricanes' Mark Light Field and March 4 at FIU. The Hurricanes won three of four games against the Panthers last season. UM will also play another game at an MLB ballpark this season. The Hurricanes' series finale at Boston College on April 27 will be played at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. 'It's a great experience,' Arteaga said. 'These guys were excited. It's always fun to play in a big-league park.'

After 8-1 start to season, Miami Hurricanes now get first big test in Florida Gators
The Miami Hurricanes baseball team probably couldn't have envisioned a better start to the season. A roster filled with 28 new faces — 14 freshmen and 14 transfers — has meshed together seamlessly. The pitching has been lights out. The lineup has depth, with most of its main contributors clicking early and the Hurricanes putting up crooked numbers more often than not. All together, it has resulted in an 8-1 start to the season, with the lone blemish a 2-1 midweek loss to Florida Atlantic on Feb. 18. 'We've started off the season great,' said junior second baseman Dorian Gonzalez. 'We're clicking on all sides of the ball.' Will this early success continue as the schedule gets more difficult? We're about to find out. After cruising to big wins in their first two weekend series against Niagara and Princeton, the Hurricanes have their first big test of the season this weekend when they travel to Gainesville to play the Florida Gators, who are undefeated at 9-0 and ranked No. 8 nationally by D1Baseball. 'It's fun,' third baseman Daniel Cuvet said. 'It always gets the adrenaline going and the nerves up. We've got to stay focused, and we've got to pretend like we're facing a faceless opponent. That's kind of the mindset we've got to have.' Miami will enter the series with confidence after its strong start to the season. On the mound, the Hurricanes' pitching staff has combined for a 1.50 ERA and 111 strikeouts over 78 innings. Miami's projected weekend rotation of Nick Robert, Griffin Hugus and Brian Walters has a combined 1.09 ERA with 51 strikeouts against eight walks over 33 innings. At the plate, the Hurricanes are collectively hitting .303 and have scored 86 runs through nine games. six regulars in the lineup are hitting at least .321 in shortstop Jake Ogden (.444), outfielder Max Galvin (.394), catcher Tanner Smith (.370), Gonzalez (.345), designated hitter Bobby Marsh (.333) and Cuvet (.321). Marsh leads the team with 19 RBI, and six of his 10 hits have gone for extra bases. Miami is also a perfect 16 for 16 on stolen bases. 'Right now, everything seems to be working,' Cuvet said. 'We can put guys wherever we want [in the lineup], and we know they're going to hit.' That said, Miami's going to be tested this weekend against the Gators, who have outscored their opponents (weekend series against Air Force and Dayton, plus midweek wins over Jacksonville, Stetson and North Florida) 87-20, have slugged 15 home runs and have seven players with at least 30 plate appearances hitting at least .343. 'Florida is a great program,' Hurricanes coach J.D. Arteaga said. 'It's the type of program that you have to beat to get to you want to be. ... They're very talented and very good and well coached. It's a tough place to play, so it's a great challenge and to me a great opportunity to show the country what we're all about.' For the Hurricanes, that means not putting extra pressure on themselves just because of the magnitude of the series. They want to stick with what has worked and hope the results will show. 'It's just another at bat. It's just another game,' said Galvin, who has safely reached base in all nine games so far this season. 'If they throw a pitch over the plate, it's gonna get hammered.'
