CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The Cardiac Canes did it again.
For the fourth time this year, Miami tapped into some Mark Light Magic.
Fifth-year catcher Jack Scanlon smacked a two-run homer in the ninth, lifting the Hurricanes to a 3-2 walk-off win over No. 3 Clemson Thursday evening.
“My only mission was to win the ballgame,” Scanlon said. “I wasn’t getting cheated. I heard my guys cheering me on in the dugout and I knew I couldn’t let them down, especially after Gage [Ziehl] had that awesome performance. He won us this game. Yeah, I got the highlight, but he really won us this game. It’s what you live for and it’s a surreal experience.”
Scanlon’s game-winning shot gave Ziehl and the Hurricanes (15-10, 6-4 ACC) their 11th comeback win of the season.
