Canes waste gem by Palmquist in game 2
Carson Palmquist delivered. Unfortunately, in baseball, just because you deliver doesn’t guarantee victory. The Canes lost 2-1 to Ole Miss in their second game of the Coral Gables Regional despite their ace striking out 10 over 5.1 innings. This was a classic pitcher’s duel as the Rebel’s Hunter Elliot matched Palmquist every step of the way. Miami took a 1-0 lead after Jacob Burke’s sac fly in the sixth, but Ole Miss answered an inning later on a two -run double by Tim Elko. Miami had the tying runner on second in the ninth but closer Brandon Johnson shut the door. Canes will now face Arizona in an elimination game.
