In the top of the 10th inning of Friday’s game between Maryland baseball and Northwestern, the Terps went scoreless. Garrett Shearer struck out Chris Hacopian to strand two runners on base, giving the Wildcats a chance to win it.
Logan Berrier started his third inning of work by plunking Jackson Freeman, who advanced to third after a single. After a groundout, Maryland intentionally walked the bases for Tony Livermore.
Livermore made the Terps pay, ending Northwestern’s 10-game losing streak in the process. On a 1-0 pitch, Livermore sent the ball over left fielder Brayden Martin’s head, giving Northwestern a 6-5 win in the first game of the weekend series — its first Big Ten win this season.
