Trailing 6-5 in the bottom of the ninth, Maryland baseball looked hopeless after failing to score for four straight innings.
Senior first baseman Maxwell Costes walked and junior right fielder Troy Schreffler singled to start the ninth, giving the Terps hope. Then, junior left fielder Bobby Zmarzlak came in clutch, clearing the bases with a walk-off home run over the left-center field wall.
Zmarzlak’s three-run homer gave Maryland an 8-6 victory in the series opener in College Park on Friday night. The Terps will face off against Ohio State twice more this weekend as they look to continue their hot Big Ten start.
