Gators blow late lead to 'Canes

GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA - Jim Burt hit a two-run double with two out in the bottom of the ninth Sunday, capping a dramatic day of baseball and lifting defending national champion Miami to an 8-7 victory over Florida in NCAA regional play. <br> <br> After Kevin Howard scored the winning run, the Hurricanes (33-27) mobbed Burt near second base and celebrated like they had just won the College World Series. <br> <br> And now, they are just two victories away from an improbable trip back. Next Friday, the defending champions, who were below .500 in mid-May, open a best-of-three series at South Carolina with a trip to Omaha on the line.
