CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Miami closer Andrew Walters put on his cleats.
Despite the second-ranked Hurricanes trailing FAU, 6-2, heading into the seventh, Walters knew his team would win.
Miami scored five runs over the final two innings, rallying to beat the Owls, 7-6, Tuesday evening at Alex Rodriguez Park.
“I was ready for our team to come back,” Walters said, who locked down his ACC-best 11th save by striking out the side in the ninth. “We have heart, you can feel it in the air. No deficit is out of reach for us. We’re out there to win every game.”
The Hurricanes (27-6, 13-2 ACC) conceded two runs in the first and allowed the Owls (21-13, 7-2 C-USA) to tack on four more tallies in the sixth.
But for the fourth straight game, Miami mounted a comeback.
