The University of Miami baseball team, under the new leadership of head coach J.D. Arteaga, achieved a significant milestone by sweeping their first series. Despite challenges, including a struggling pitcher named Ziehl in the first big moment of the Arteaga era and a tied game against NJIT at 7 in the 8th inning following Carlos Perez's decision to bunt, the Hurricanes managed a walk-off win on Opening Night. This victory marked Arteaga's first career win as head coach. The series concluded successfully for Miami, even with a Sunday game being called off due to rain.

Interesting decision for Carlos Perez to bunt with two outs and a runner on third. He's thrown out at first to end the inning. UM tied with NJIT at 7 going to the 8th.
First big moment of the J.D. Arteaga era, as Ziehl is struggling and has runners on first and third with two outs. Miami has a pitcher warming up in the pen. NJIT has scored two this inning to take the lead.
