2010 College World Series Final-Carolina vs UCLA Game 2, 9th inning
After winning a pair of afternoon games to get to Omaha, the Hurricanes will get primetime treatment when they open play in the College World Series later this week.
A day after Miami clinched its second straight berth in Omaha with a 9-4 win over Boston College, the Hurricanes learned they are set to take the field at TD Ameritrade Park against Arizona on Saturday night with first pitch scheduled for 8 p.m.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.
Miami, which is making its 25th appearance in the College World Series, is the highest-seeded team on its side of the bracket which, along with Arizona, includes Oklahoma State and UC Santa Barbara.
The loser"s of Saturday"s two games will play Monday at 2 p.m., while the winners will face off against each other Monday at 7 p.m.
The Hurricanes, the national No. 3 seed, clinched a 50-win season Sunday with their emotionally-charged victory over Boston College.
Third baseman Edgar Michelangeli had a pair of home runs in the win, including a seventh-inning grand slam that resulted in much celebration and a near benches-clearing brawl when some Boston College players took offense to Michelangeli"s bat flip toward the Miami dugout and his trot around the bases.
Ultimately, though, no punches were thrown, no players were ejected and the Hurricanes went on to secure the win and a return trip to Omaha.
"I"m looking forward to going to Omaha," Hurricanes coach Jim Morris said after Sunday"s win. "For the rookies, you tell them what it"s like but when you walk through those doors and on the field, it"s an unbelievable feeling. I"m excited about that for them and the team."
