Opening Weekend was not a magical one we hoped for. Maryland looked more experienced, more prepared, and more focused on their approach. The Terps rotation threw strikes, Maryland hitters put the bat on the ball just well enough (until the end of the Sunday game), and with that, earned a sweep over Baylor this past weekend.
Baylor starting pitchers Tyler Thomas (Friday) and Jake Jackson (Sunday) both looked the part. Tyler is a sure-fire Friday night starter and will get better run production throughout the season. He was in control of his outing from the third hitter on, and the first inning was more about Maryland just getting two balls hit to the right spots to start the season.
