The Canes, who boast an impressive 25-4 record, are on a 9 game winning streak heading into this week. They have only lost 1 series on the year, to then top-ranked Florida. They have won series against nationally ranked Louisville, and swept two more highly ranked teams in Clemson and North Carolina (Notre Dame too, if you count that 1-game series sweep from this weekend).
There's a long way to go in the season, but this Miami team has the look of a team that could and should challenge for the College World Series championship.
Congrats on the #1 ranking, Canes!
Now, let's keep it going.
