One swing. One pitch. One agonizing moment separated Miami from Omaha and the College World Series in June.

‍
Louisville won the game 3-2 to win the Super Regional, ending Miami's magical 2025 season just three outs away from college baseball's biggest stage. But here's what every parent needs to understand: that heartbreaking 3-2 loss in the deciding game three wasn't a failure—it was validation that J.D. Arteaga has built something special in Coral Gables, something that took Miami to their first Super Regional since 2016.
