CORAL GABLES, Fla. - It took only four hits on the night at Bethune-Cookman survived a late Miami rally to take down the ACC's Hurricanes, 6-4, Wednesday night at Mark Light Field. 



Miami (16-20, 6-12 ACC) grabbed a single run in the second on a solo homer before the Wildcats (20-17, 10-4 SWAC) produced four on only one hit in the fourth as the Hurricanes loaded the bases on a single and two walks. 

Colton Olasin registered the first B-CU RBI of the night on a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch before Daniel Figueroa made it 2-0 on a HBP of his own. One batter later, Garrett Chun walked to score Franki Febles before Sergio Rivera became the third hit batter of the inning to make it 4-1. 

Miami took two back in the bottom of the seventh on a RBI double and B-CU throwing error to cut things to 4-3. The Canes tied the ballgame at 4-4 an inning later on a two-out RBI single. 

In the top of the ninth, facing the Hurricanes closer, the Wildcats again jumped on the free pass to re-take the lead for good as Figueroa was hit for the second time on the night and came around to score on a Manny Souffrain bases-loaded walk following two B-CU singles. 

Yet another bases-loaded walk, this time for Ramses Cordova, made it 6-4 as Jose Gonzalez came in to score. 

Colby Lipovsky made the start for B-CU, working an impressive six innings in which he allowed only one earned run on four hits with three strikeouts and no walks.

Dale Michaud recorded one out before Pablo Torres came in for the remaining 2.2 innings, allowing one earned run on two hits with six strikeouts and no walks. He earned his third win of the season. 

• B-CU walked 10 times on the night to eight strikeouts. 
• Manny Souffrain recorded a run scored, an RBI, and four walks. 
• Wednesday marked the first win for B-CU over Miami since 2018. 

The Wildcats get set to host Mississippi Valley State for a four-game series this weekend at Jackie Robinson Ballpark beginning Friday, April 19 at 7 p.m.
