The University of Miami baseball team looks to close out a five-game homestand on a high note Wed., April 25 when it hosts FIU at Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field.

Freshman Chris McMahon (1-0, 3.00 ERA) opposes FIU righthander Chandler Raiden (0-1, 4.80 ERA) in the last regular-season game between the two teams this spring.

McMahon will look to continue his success from his last start, when he tossed eight dominant innings against FGCU in an 8-1 win on April 18.

McMahon's performance against the Eagles, when he allowed just one run and struck out eight batters with no walks, jumpstarted the best four-game stretch by UM's rotation all season.

In the last four games, Miami's four-man staff compiled combined totals of 34 strikeouts, five walks, four earned runs and 13 hits allowed in 30.2 innings.

Miami's staff ERA over the last week was a microscopic 1.17 and its strikeouts-per-nine inning total was 9.98. The Hurricanes' four starting pitchers posted a group WHIP of 0.59.

The Hurricanes' dominant week at the hill was bookended by McMahon's gem and Andrew Cabezas' sterling performance against Pittsburgh to help salvage a weekend series.

Cabezas tossed the first complete game shutout by a Miami hurler since May 14, 2015 in a 3-0 win over the Panthers. The fiery righthander tied a career mark with 11 strikeouts and allowed just three hits and three walks in the best start of his career.

The University of Miami women's tennis team moved up two places to No. 15 in this week's Oracle/ITA rankings, as announced Tuesday afternoon.

The ranking is the highest of the season for Miami (15-6, 11-3 ACC) and its top mark since placing No. 12 on Jan. 25, 2017.

Miami is one of six ACC teams in the top 30, alongside second-ranked North Carolina, third-ranked Duke, fourth-ranked Georgia Tech, No. 18 Florida State and No. 20 Virginia. Additionally, No. 27 Syracuse, No. 34 Wake Forest, No. 38 NC State and No. 40 Clemson are ranked.

Sophomore Estela Perez-Somarriba held her position as the third-ranked singles player in the nation. She leads a group of eight ACC players in the top 25, four of whom are in the top seven. Senior Sinead Lohan comes in at No. 64 on this week's singles list, the same mark she held on April 10.

Miami has two ranked doubles pairs this week, with both featuring Perez-Somarriba. She teams with junior Ana Madcur in the No. 45 spot and with junior Daniella Roldan in the No. 79 positon.

The fourth-seeded Hurricanes will open ACC Championship play Friday at 9 a.m. in Cary, N.C., with their opponent still to be determined.

[CGNC]

Women's Tennis is awesome. I don't play and never have, not my thing, but I have mad respect for the athletes who do.

Draft is tonight. Where do you think Berrios/McIntosh/Norton land?

[Terrance Sullivan]

I don't expect any of our players to get drafted until Saturday. Hope I am wrong tho. Women's Tennis rocks especially our Canes Women's Tennis Team.

[CoCane]

Walton, McIntosh, or Thomas will get drafted tomorrow...

[CoCane]

Maybe Norton

[TruCane81]

Walton will be a solid back in the league for a long time barring injury. I have a hard time seeing him go in the second round but I don’t know how deep this draft is at rb. He is good blocker, good receiver, good vision, great lateral quickness, and decent burst. You don’t often get a total package like that. That 2nd round grade might not be that far off.

The only knocks on him are he doesn’t have the blazing speed or bruising size. He also had some poor games against the better defenses but I think he was hung out to dry in that respect for several reasons.

Norton was not as consistently beastly for a guy with his size and athleticism. But if he drops he could be a steal. If he stuck too much on fat pockets and fast cars, could be out the league quick. I think he has pro bowl ability.

RJ will be a beast pass rushing day, maybe even Sapp level production. Not many guys can get skinny, hold leverage , and get upfield like him. Just has to shed blocks better and more consistently.

Berries will play 10 years and be a top five slot receiver in four seasons, maybe less. We really underused him in the short game. He will get lots of yards after catch iin the league.

[CoCane]

Don't sleep on Herndon. He would've put up big numbers with a accurate QB last season.

This is why U and people like U will always be considered "fringe" fans. U don't care about The U. U don't care about sports in general. U don't care about women. All U care about is Football.

U are weak and undesirable.

That is all.

[86Cane]

This is exactly the reason NOT to have a UM sports blog. U might as well just have a FOOTBALL blog and call it a day. I am so done...

[BEERicane]

VT 2 first rounders. The U a big fat 0. Will be lucky to put up a 2nd rounder.

Looks like Richt knows how to get a hell of a lot more out of his non-NFL ready talent than Golden did our ofnhis league ready kids.

Yeah, but when you do football, I so appreciate it! 😉

U need a psychiatrist.

Well Mallory won the 110M hurdles and 100M regionals and is doing to state. Is that rare for a TE?

Chad Thomas to the Cleveland Browns!

Norton and McIntosh we're dumb to leave. If your not going to be drafted in the first 2 rounds stay in school. They might not even be picked in the 3rd.

🤔. Think I remember saying this like 6 months ago. The rest of you, not so much. Same goes for Walton. You guys would never make GM.

Speaking of dumb decisions...where is Joe Yearby??? Who gets in these kids heads? Oh, yeah...Drew Rosenhaus.

[86Cane]

Joe Yearby, undrafted free agent, his sad story:

[Go Canes!!]

Some of you guys think risking injury while playing for free automatically makes a guy go higher in the draft the following year. And some of you don’t know what it’s like to be poor.

Some of these guys are very happy to get on an NFL roster in the 4th or 5th round and get paid to play while working for their second contract.

There’s nothing wrong with that path if that’s what they feel is best for them.

There are zero guarantees staying helps them.

[CoCane]

I have a older friend that came with me to the GT game last season. He's close McIntosh's fam. I won't say how but Soup, CGNC and them met him at the tailgate. He introduced me to McIntosh. McIntosh was pressured by his girlfriend to declare early. I can't speak for the others but McIntosh decision was on dumb sh*t. His fam wanted him to stay. They ain't rich but they ain't poor either. The power of the P-U-S-S-Y!

[Terrance Sullivan]

Chris Herndon to the New York Jets, Mark Walton to Cincinnati!

[Terrance Sullivan]

RJ McIntosh to the New York Giants!

[Terrance Sullivan]

Cocane the Vagina has, is, and always remain undefeated. Luckily for RJ at least he got drafted and to a good organization and playing in New Jersey he could do worse but yeah it happens.

Fair points GC. Take out some disability insurance on yourself if they are that worried about injury.

Staying at least gets them a degree.

So I was told...

[BigWindyCane1]

Berries to the Patriots in the 5th round.

[BigWindyCane1]

Chad Thomas to Brown in third round
Christopher Herndon to Jets in the fourth round
Mark Walton to Bengals in the fourth round
RJ McIntosh to Bengals in the fifth round
Braxton Berrios to Patriots in the sixth round

[TonyCane]

I called Berrios to Patriots! Perfect fit.

[BEERicane]

How are the patriots so damn good at drafting, when they select practically last every damn time?

[Terrance Sullivan]

Kendrick Norton to the Carolina Panthers!
