No. 23 Miami will be Without its Star Batter for the Foreseeable Future
While No. 23 Miami is 5-0 to start this season, they will now be without one of their star hitters for six-eight weeks thanks to a foot injury.
Miami Hurricanes senior Max Galvin suffered a foot injury in the comeback win against UCF.
Galvin suffered the injury in Tuesday’s 8-7 win over UCF during an at-bat in the 10th inning stumbing his way out of the batter’s box for a groundout double. Galvin had started the first four games of the season, three in left field and one as the designated hitter, batting in the 2-spot. He was hitting .278 with two doubles and six RBIs.
Last season, he finished the season hitting .313 with 18 doubles, eight home runs, nine stolen bases, and 37 RBIs in 60 games, 59 starts.
New Starter for the Canes
With the Cane playing four games this weekend, one extra player will be called to start, and it goes to left-handed pitcher Rob Evans. After recovering from an injury last season and coming out of the bullpen, Evans will now get his chance to start, as he was projected to do at the start of the season.
The Hurricanes will battle against Lafayette starting on Friday, then have a double header on Saturday before finishing the weekend on Sunday.
Star Transfer Smashes Walk-Off Homerun, Pushing No. 23 Miami over UCF in Extra Innings
The air in Coral Gables and at the University of Miami had to be effective because during the Men’s basketball game against Virginia Tech, the Canes baseball team also battled to the very end, stealing a victory over UCF in extra innings 8-7 thanks to a walk-off homerun from a star transfer.
No. 23 Miami (4-0) survived an outstanding performance by junior pitcher Matt Sauser, icing the Canes in the first six innings.
The Canes knew a jump in competition would be in order quickly this season, but against the Knights, they faced a raging bull in Saucser, who wouldn’t let UM hit the ball all game. While on the opposing side, the mound struggles for the Canes started early.
Getting to starting nod was senior Lyndon Glidewell, who started well before giving up a two-run home run in the top of the third inning. After, he continued to give up more runs in the following inning before getting pulled after 3.2 innings of work, giving up six hits, four runs, hitting three batters, and only three punch outs.

“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Tommie Lee among 6 arrested during World Cup match in Miami, sheriff says
Reality television personality Tommie Lee — whose real name is Atasha Jefferson — best known for her appearances on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” was among six people arrested during the England vs. Norway FIFA World Cup match in Miami on Saturday, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said 60,024 fans attended the match. Deputies also reported 19 ejections from the stadium, adding that all incidents were isolated and handled quickly.
Authorities have not yet released the circumstances surrounding Jefferson’s arrest or any charges she may face.
A social media account that regularly reports celebrity news claimed Sunday that Jefferson was arrested July 11 and released July 12 after posting a $1,000 bond. The post also alleged she is facing a felony charge of interference with a sporting or entertainment event and said she later shared a video on Snapchat appearing to be in good spirits after her release.
What we don’t know
CBS News has not independently verified those claims, including the reported charge, bond amount or release information, and Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has not publicly confirmed those details.
CBS News has also not independently verified what led to the encounter, and the sheriff’s office has not said what prompted deputies to take Jefferson into custody.
CBS News has requested Jefferson’s arrest report, booking information and any charging documents from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. A request for comment has also been sent to Jefferson’s representatives.
Reality TV star’s legal troubles in South Florida amid World Cup festivities
Jefferson rose to national prominence as one of the breakout personalities on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” before later appearing on several Zeus Network reality series, where she has remained a frequent cast member.
This is not Jefferson’s first legal issue in South Florida. In 2024, she was arrested in Miami Beach on a battery charge following an incident outside LIV Nightclub. Court records from that case alleged she physically confronted another person before officers took her into custody.
Saturday’s arrest comes as Miami continues hosting FIFA World Cup matches that have drawn tens of thousands of fans from around the world. Despite the arrests and ejections, the sheriff’s office said the event proceeded safely and described the incidents as isolated.
This is a developing story. CBS News will update this article as additional information, including the exact circumstances surrounding Jefferson’s arrest and any charges, becomes available.
