"It was a great game," head coach Jim Morris said. "Clemson is a nationally-ranked team and they're near the top of the Atlantic Coast Conference. It's a huge series for us, especially after losing the first game."
Suarez (3-3) scattered just six hits on the day, going the distance for the first time as a Hurricane in the third complete game for a Miami pitcher this season. The southpaw bested his previous career-high in innings pitched (7.0), striking out five batters and walking none in the best outing of his career.
"It was one of the best feelings I've had yet," Suarez said of his first career complete game. "Especially throwing it here in my hometown, I had my family here watching me and a few friends."
The southpaw helped Miami set the mark for second-fewest runs allowed in program history over a three-game series (two), delivering the second complete game shutout of the season for Miami. On the weekend, the Hurricanes' allowed two earned runs over 24 innings for an ERA of 0.75.
The Hurricanes (27-16, 10-11 ACC) gave their starter a lead during the first two innings of the afternoon, as RBI doubles from outfielders Chantz Mack and Dale Carey guided the hosts an early 3-0 advantage.
"Ever since the first inning, I was locating my pitches," Suarez said. "Once my offense got a few runs in, I was more relaxed. I let my defense do the work."
After recording a game-high three hits in Saturday's 2-1 victory, Mack connected on his fifth double of the season in the bottom of the first to give Miami a 1-0 lead. With junior Alex Hernandez on second after a basehit earlier in the frame, Mack belted an offering from Clemson (27-13, 13-8 ACC) starter Clate Schmidt into the left-center gap, sending Miami to a 1-0 lead.
Just as it had in Saturday's 2-1 victory, a sacrifice hit played a key role in the Hurricanes' next scoring chance. With Brad Fieger (walk) on first and Garrett Kennedy (single) on second, freshman shortstop Brandon Lopez laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt to advance both runners a base. Carey then cracked the very first pitch he saw from Schmidt (3-2) down the leftfield line, plating both runners with ease for the 3-0 advantage.
"I've been working on things with the coaches, just trying to get it going here," said Carey, who finished with three RBI's. "That at bat I went up there and said 'put the ball in play hard' somewhere, and get the runners in."
Carey was also a key figure in the decisive fifth inning of Saturday's victory, advancing on a sacrifice bunt after connecting for a leadoff single. He would later score what proved to be the game-winning run on an RBI single from Hernandez, which helped set up Sunday's rubber match.
The Hurricanes struck together three singles to make it 4-0 in the fourth, ending Schmidt's day after just 3.2 innings. With Lopez on second and junior Tyler Palmer on first, Hernandez looped a single to centerfield. Centerfielder Thomas Brittle's throw was wide of the bag, plating Lopez from second and advancing both runners a base. On in relief, freshman Zack Erwin got David Thompson on a lineout to center on the first pitch he saw to end the threat.
"The tone is really set by Suarez,” Morris said. “As normal, pitching is the name of the game, and he pitched a tremendous game."
The Hurricanes wrap up their five-game homestand Wednesday with a midweek matchup against FAU. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.

Good News: A Slightly In-Depth Look at the 2013 Schedule. You're welcome.
1. No back to back road games
2. 7 Home Games
3. Of our 11 opponents (discounting Savannah State), only 5 finished .500 or better. Only 4 finished with winning records. Only 2 had double digit wins.
4. UM will face rushing offenses ranked an average of 70th. We beat the highest ranked on the list (Ga. Tech, 4th).
5. UM will face passing offenses ranked an average of 65th. The high was NC at 26th.
6. UM will face offenses ranked an average of 69th. The high? We will face two top ten offenses (NC- 8, FSU- 10), but the bottom falls hard after those.
7. The defenses we face are slightly better, averaging 55th. We have to contend with two top ten defenses in FSU and Florida. However, the next best defense is Pitt at 23.
Notes:
Of our 5 opponents finishing .500 or better...
- Florida finished 118th in passing and 78th in points scored. Their one offensive threat graduated. However, the defense is extremely good.
- Ga. Tech loses their QB, who contributed to the 4th ranked rushing team. They have solid tailbacks, but each are system players.
- Bernard is gone (thank God). Renner is a bit of a beast at times, but can struggle in conference games.
- Va. Tech has more issues at tailback than UM has with the NCAA. Unless they can throw, their offensive capability could be consistently in the single digits. This isn't good for a team already ranked 81st in rushing and 83rd in scoring.
- The Noles are transitioning into a new QB. They're nasty, stupid, and they smell.

People like me and most around here will not have the slightest interest or worry about anything that happens in terms of non-binding "verbal commits" related to recruiting THIS WEEK.

Then UMike should say that OUT LOUD.
He should say "most fans who know nothing will say" but he should NOT say it like he agrees with it (unless of course he does, which is OK too if true) because then U own it.

If they legalize weed in Oregon, our national debt would be gone in two hours. Tops.
Recruiting really doesn't matter except in cases of the diehards who shut it down as it helps with momentum. We need such momentum in getting defensive talent... defensive tackles and linebackers.
Speaking of which, it's almost downright criminal the luck that Golden and Barrow have had with that group. If there's such a thing as an anti-genie, they've got it with that crew.

Jon Bastian, TIFWIW:
Hey,
I was at the IMG 7v7 this past weekend and while Sony didn't make the trip with the team (probably due to track), I spoke with several people that are close to him and they're saying he's all Georgia. The same source that filled me in about the Alex Collins situation and Arkansas--which led to an unpopular radio show prediction by yours truly--is saying Sony to Georgia. It isn't over until the large-boned lady sings, but I haven't heard "he's going to Miami" from anybody outside of fans. This may be another unpopular pick, but I give it to you guys straight from solid sources, he's probably going to be dawg.

The same reason Collins went to the $EC Razorback$ is the ONLY reason that Sony MAY got to the UGA Dawg$. He is a Cane at heart, has been forever and everybody knows it, but those GA boys are making it VERY hard for him to say "NO".
Wasn't it Skynyrd who said:
"Now I dig U Georgia peaches,
Makes me feel right at home.
Now I dig you Georgia peaches,
Makes me feel right at home.
But I don't love me no one woman,
So I can't stay in Georgia long."
I just hope Sony is more of a Santana fan:
"I'll never go back to Georgia baby,
I'll never go back!"

UMike, you did get lumped in as a negative agenda holder for daring to guess where a life long 'Cane fan would actually end up attending college, it would have been total hilarity if it wasn't so easily seen beforehand coming down main street of the blob.
I stopped caring about what high school attendees had to say as soon as I stopped being one myself. So I just can't be bothered to care about '14 signing day recruiting during '13. Even though it's going on continually and recruiting yourself first is job number one for the Miami head coach.
The old 5th string QB's career in Athens is starting to mutate into some over aggrandized version of Bowden's career at WVU in a lot of ways with how often his seat temperature vacillates wildly, has he ever been burned in effigy for mismanaging the salary cap over the last ten years there yet?

For his series-clinching complete game shutout of No. 12 Clemson, sophomore lefthander Andrew Suarez was recognized with Atlantic Coast Conference Pitcher of the Week honors Monday.
The southpaw scattered just six hits throughout the afternoon, striking out five Clemson batters without issuing a walk en route to a 7-0 victory. The complete game was the third of Miami's season and the first of Suarez’ career.
The Miami, Fla., native finished off an impressive weekend for Hurricane pitchers, as the team allowed the second-fewest runs ever in a three-game series (two). Suarez, along with fellow starters Chris Diaz and Bryan Radziewski, combined to allow just two earned runs over 24.0 innings (0.75 ERA) in Miami's second consecutive ACC series victory.
