After a crushing 1-2 weekend against league-leading Nebraska last weekend, Maryland baseball opened a three-game weekend set against the Big Ten-fourth Ohio State Buckeyes on Friday.
After a pitching-first affair through the first five frames, Maryland centerfielder Chris Alleyne stepped to the plate with the bases loaded in the sixth. The senior recognized a low and in pitch, pulling his hands in and lining the ball into the corner in left. The bases emptied in a hurry, adding three more runs to a seven-run sixth.
A dominant pitching performance from starter Sean Burke and the bullpen carried the Terps to a 10-6 victory, improving their record to 11-12 on the season.
