SERIES WITH CINCINNATI           
Miami holds a 103-69-1 record in the all-time series with Cincinnati. The teams have split both of their meetings this season, each of which was played down in Cincinnati. On April 10 in the championship game of the Joe Nuxhall Classic, Miami had leads of 6-1 and 8-4 before UC scored four in the bottom of the eighth to tie the score. Senior pitcher Cole Gnetz came into the contest in the bottom of the ninth and kept the Bearcats off the board until Miami was able to secure the victory with four runs in the top of the 11th. Gnetz was named the Nuxhall MVP for his efforts. The teams met again six days later on April 16. This time the RedHawks built a 5-1 lead early, but the Bearcats scored 14 runs over a three-inning span to take a 15-5 victory.
