Gone to Carolina
• Miami has won consecutive ACC weekend series over NC State and Wake Forest, and heads to Chapel Hill, N.C. for another challenging test on the road with a series against North Carolina.
• The Hurricanes hold the all-time series lead, but trail in games played at Chapel Hill (8-13-1). UM handed then-No. 1 North Carolina its first loss of the season in its last trip to Boshamer Stadium in 2013.
• The two teams have traded series victories in the last three weekend sets, with Miami sweeping Carolina in 2012, UNC winning two of three in 2013, and Miami capturing the series in 2014. The Hurricanes have won 13 of the last 18 matchups overall.
One-Two Punch
• Despite the graduation of No. 1 & No. 2 hitters Dale Carey and Tyler Palmer, who combined in those roles in 62 of 63 games in 2014, freshman Carl Chester and junior Ricky Eusebio have delivered.
• Chester is batting .291 in 25 starts in leftfield, ranks second with four homers, and has the third-most hits with 30. He has hit leadoff in every game he has played, and has a .381 on-base percentage.
• Eusebio is reaching base at a .team-best .500 clip, and leads the team in runs (30) and steals (10). His 22 walks are second-most, while his 11 HBPs are the most on the team and fifth-most nationwide.
• The speedy duo has combined for 18-for-22 (81.8%) on steals.
Milestones for Morris
• After leading his team to a 44-19 record in 2014, head coach Jim Morris moved into ninth place all-time in college baseball history (regardless of Division, four-year colleges) with 1,435 wins.
• Morris wasted little time in moving up that list in 2015, taking over sole possession of eighth place when Miami topped Rutgers 25-4 on Feb. 15, 2015 – his 1,439th win as head coach. He moved into seventh place (1,445) when Miami beat Louisville on March 7.
• Morris ranks as the fourth-winningest among active Division I coaches by career victories (1,453) and fifth in winning percentage (.694). He is also the second-winningest coach in ACC history.
• Morris became just the eighth coach in the history of Division I baseball to accumulate 1,400 wins when Miami beat Boston College 5-2 on March 8, 2014.
