Maryland baseball entered the top of the ninth inning Saturday in great position, but Jacson McGowan took the Terps’ bullpen deep twice late in the game, giving Purdue the 4-3 victory in College Park.
Normally Maryland’s most trustworthy relievers, both John Murphy and Kevin Biondic fell victim to McGowan’s heroics, surrendering a homer each. For McGowan, the two home runs marked his 10th and 11th of the year.
The bullpen’s rough afternoon spoiled Hunter Parsons’ great outing. In his first Saturday start of the year, Parsons proved once again that he is Maryland’s best starter this year.
