This was certainly no showdown between pitchers, but it was exciting nonetheless.
Seven hours and 31 runs later, Maryland clawed its way back atop James Madison 19-12 to take the season series between the teams on Tuesday night.
Shortstop Kevin Smith was the undeniable hero of the game, totaling seven RBI to go with his two hits and two runs scored.
Right fielder Madison Nickens opened the game with a solo bomb to quickly put the Terps up 1-0, but the Dukes tied it up in the bottom of the inning. Eight batters later, Nickens took to the batters box again with the based loaded, but kept his composure and forced a walk-in run.
