How do you score 9 runs in the 1st inning on one hit? Ask the Miami Hurricanes. They did just that against the Jackets last night, and finished things off with a 20-1 thumping of GT. It was U.G.L.Y. from the very start. How did this bizarre 1st inning transpire:
Miami scored nine runs in a bizarre first inning that included eight walks, two hit batters, three wild pitches and a passed ball. The Hurricanes swung at just seven of 68 pitches and had one hit in the inning. Miami scored the first seven runs without a hit before Ryan Braun hit a two-run single. Tech starter Jason Neighborgall (5-1) recorded just one out and surrendered seven runs without allowing a hit.
In fact, the "two" hit batsman was actually the same guy getting plunked twice, which had never happened in Miami history. Well, at least we set a record.
All I will say is that pitching and defense win championships. We committed one error and our TEAM ERA shot up almost a full 1/2 point after the 1st inning. Not Jason's - the TEAM's. Holy cow.
The good news is that they get to start fresh today at 0-0.
