CANES HOST PITT IN FINAL REGULAR SEASON HOME SERIES
• No. 4 Miami is wrapping up its home schedule with a five-game homestand, including its final home series against Pittsburgh beginning Friday, May 13 at 7 p.m. at Mark Light Field.
• In their first-ever trip to Pittsburgh in 2015, the Hurricanes swept their series with the Panthers at Charles Cost Field. Miami has a perfect 12-0 record in the all-time series, including a 9-0 home mark.
• Miami righthander Andrew Cabezas will make the first start of his career Friday night in the series opener. Pitt’s starter is TBA.
HEATING UP
• Riding a career-best 10-game hitting streak, senior Brandon Lopez has raised his average to .411 – the ACC’s second-best average.
• Lopez has reached base in 30 consecutive games – the longest active stretch for any Miami player, and the second-longest all season to Zack Collins’ stretch of 33 straight that ended April 29.
• Lopez leads the team with 11 doubles, ranks second with 62 hits and is slugging .503 – the second-highest mark of any UM player.
COLLINS, GARCIA SPIKES CANDIDATES
• Miami juniors Zack Collins and Bryan Garcia were among the 60 players named to the midseason watch list for the 2016 Golden Spikes Award, USA Baseball announced Wednesday, April 20.
• Miami was one of just eight schools to have multiple players listed; former 3B David Thompson was a 2015 Spikes semifinalist.
• The only Golden Spikes Award winner in program history is Pat Burrell, who won the award in 1998.
HAPPY HOMECOMING FOR HEYWARD
• Largely thanks to a career day from junior Jacob Heyward, Miami won its rubber game with host Georgia Tech at Russ Chandler Stadium Monday, May 9 to secure its tenth series victory of 2016.
• Heyward, a native of McDonough, Ga., had five RBI with a pair of two-RBI doubles and a solo home run.
• Heyward’s five RBI were one shy of his career high.
