DiMare’s Canes Enter Top 25

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami baseball program entered the top 25 Monday for the first time under head coach Gino DiMare. 
 
The Hurricanes (25-12, 10-8 ACC) cracked the top 25 in multiple polls, coming in at No. 23 in the D1Baseball Top 25, No. 22 in Collegiate Baseball’s NCAA Div. I Baseball Poll and No. 24 in the NCBWA Division I Poll.
 
Miami posted a perfect 5-0 week, taking two midweek games from Florida Gulf Coast before sweeping the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va., for the first time in program history. 
 
“We talked about it before the series began that now is the time to make a move,” head coach Gino DiMare said. “We have been sitting kind of on the outside looking in in terms of rankings and our goal is to try and host. Nobody is giving us a chance to host, but if we make a really, really good run here, we will have a chance to do that.”
 
The Canes are ranked for the first time since the week of Feb. 26, 2018, when they came in at No. 24 in the USA Today Coaches’ Poll.
 
Miami is home at 6 p.m. on Tuesday against Florida Gulf Coast before hitting the road for a three-game set at No. 7 Louisville beginning Thursday.
