Tied at five in the bottom of the ninth inning, Kevin Keister stepped up to the plate. Maryland baseball’s captain made no mistake, driving in the winning run to lift the Terps past Indiana in the series finale, 6-5.
“u200bu200bI was kind of expecting an off-speed pitch, got a slider,” Keister said. “Hit it decently hard, but when I first hit it, I was like, ‘Oh no, I hit it on the ground with five infielders...but so happy it snuck through.”
With the win, the Terps avoided their first weekend series sweep since 2019.
“Not getting swept is about team character, It’s about the camaraderie,” head coach Matt Swope said.
