BACK HOME IN OMAHA
• For the second straight season and for the 25th time in program history, the Miami Hurricanes clinched a trip to the College World Series. Miami took two of three from Boston College in the Coral Gables Super Regional from June 10-12 to punch its tickets to Omaha, Neb.
• The Hurricanes’ 25 trips to Omaha are the second-most of any program nationwide (Texas – 35), while their four national championships (1982, 1985, 1999, 2001) are tied for fifth-most.
• Miami has an all-time record of 48-41 (.539) in the College World Series, with its 48 wins and 89 total games played both ranking fourth-most in CWS history.
• Miami has qualified for the College World Series 13 times in head coach Jim Morris’ 23-year tenure at the helm; UM made it to Omaha 12 times in Hall of Fame coach Ron Fraser’s 30 seasons.
FEELING SUPER
• Miami won Game 1 (12-7) and Game 3 (9-4) of the Coral Gables Super Regional against Boston College to clinch one of eight spots in the 2016 College World Series. The Canes lost Game 2 to BC 5-3.
• With its best-of-three series victory, the Hurricanes improved to 18-11 all-time in the NCAA Super Regional round, including a 14-2 record at Mark Light Field in Super Regional games.
• UM batted .375 with six homers & 24 runs scored in three games.
• Miami has never missed the College World Series when named a national seed, having made the field of eight in 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2008, 2015 and 2016.
SEVEN HURRICANES SELECTED IN MLB DRAFT
