In the top of the second inning of its series finale against Michigan State, Maryland baseball had an opportunity to do what it had struggled to do consistently all weekend: drive in a run with two outs and men on base.
Shortstop Benjamin Cowles led off the inning with a bloop single to left. Center fielder Chris Alleyne then struck out, but that didn’t stop the Terps. In the following at-bat, Cowles beat the tag at second off the bat of third baseman Matt Shaw, denying the Spartans the double play.
With two outs, senior right fielder Randy Bednar stepped up to the plate with the chance to tack on another run for the Terps.
