Owls’ Winning Streak Ends at the Hands of UM
3/18/2025 11:22:00 PM | Baseball
The Owls (17-4) rallied from an early deficit before the Canes (13-9) regained the lead late and held on.
Ayden Garcia led off the bottom of the inning with a walk, and Marshall Lipsey beat out a ground ball to the left side for an infield single. A throwing error by Miami on what might have been a double-play ball allowed Garcia to score. John Martinez followed with a double to the left field gap to make it 5-3.
The game remained deadlocked until the eighth when Miami regained the advantage. After a leadoff single, a stolen base, and a walk against the Owls' Carter Holjes, Max Martzolf came in to put the fire out. UM's Tanner Smith attempted a sacrifice bunt, but Martzolf sprinted off the mound and made a diving catch to deny the effort.

The next batter lined a single to left field to give the Hurricanes a 6-5 lead before a flyout ended the inning.
- Schroeder homered twice in a game for the second time in his career.
- All five of his home runs this season have come in the last 10 days. He now leads the team.
- Lipsey finished 3-for-4 with three singles. He has reached base safely in all 19 games he's played this season.
- Zach Kilby started and allowed five runs on six hits in three innings.
- Braden Ostrander and Steven Andrews handled two shutout frames each from the fourth through the seventh innings.
- MJ Bollinger worked a clean ninth inning with one strikeout.
"I'm proud of the way our guys fought tonight. Credit to Miami. It wasn't like we gave them anything. They took it. Their relief pitching was really good. They got the big hit in the eighth, and we couldn't match it. But I'm still proud of our guys. I thought it was a really well-played college baseball game."
